Laurel Glen Counterpoint 2005


California Cab Sauv. This comes highly recommended, but for me, it's simply too big, too brash. Extremely dense and spicy, leaves no room for the imagination, just burly New World power at its worst. Some odd medicinal flavours coming in at the tail end. The long finish, is however, enjoyable. Buy this for dinner parties where the subtleties of a great Red will be wasted on the indifferent guests who are happier w fruit and spice bombs....and save your GCCs for a more appreciative audience (7.2/10).
