Tierras de Luna Crianza 2005 VdeT Castilla y León

Hadn't tried this in a while, in fact since the 2003 vintage when I remember it as being very obviously Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2005 vintage has a Cabernet nose, but not as fresh and herbaceous as the 2003. Much riper and less distinct with chocolatey, woody characteristics. Pretty weighty and rather soupy on the palate. Lots of extraction and despite ripe black fruit flavours, almost all seems lost in the alcohol which I see is 14,5%.
I thought 2005 would be a more balanced vintage, but perhaps this weight is what the winery was looking for and just isn't my taste.
