The 2007 La Puerta Gran Reserva Bonarda is a significant step-up. Aged for 12 months in French and American oak, it displays an alluring bouquet of balsam wood, plum, underbrush, herbs, and potpourri. More structured than the Reserva cuvee, this savory, nicely proportioned Bonarda will evolve for another 1-2 years and provide peak drinking from 2012 to 2017.
