The 2005 GV5 is 75% Carinena, 15% Garnacha, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Purple-colored, it delivers a splendid nose of slate, forest floor, violets, black cherry, and blueberry. Full-bodied, bordering on opulent, the wine already exhibits complex, spicy black and blue fruit flavors as well as enough ripe tannin to support 5-7 years of additional cellaring. This lengthy effort should be at its peak from 2013 to 2025.
