Gran Lurton Cabernet Sauvignon Gran Reserva 2001 Wednesday, Dec 27 2006
Tasting Notes and Argentina and Variety and Red and cabernet et al
From the stable of wines made by Jacques and François Lurton, this one is made from grapes grown in the regions of Tunpangato and Vista Flores, close to the Cordillera of the Andes. Creamy oak and a bit of stink, red currants and cigar box. Sweet red fruits on the palate, red and green capsicum, but initially a bit thin and short. It builds with time, showing savoury farmyard tannins and a drying finish. Needs some time, and should rate higher.

Don’t cry for me Argentina…or I may start a punch up after a penalty shootout. I am hoping to drink a wine from the country of each team that is vanquished from the world cup. Drinking Australian wine did not help Australia so I am going for reverse psychology. I expect I will be drinking (in the following order) something from Portugal, France, Cachaca 51 (Brazil), Italy and then Germany. Mercifully I won’t need to drink anything from England. Go England!![[Valid RSS] title=](image/valid-rss.png)
