The 2009 Puerta Bonita (G5) is made from 120-year-old Garnacha vines. Dark ruby, on the nose it displays baking spices, wild berries, and cherry blossoms. This leads to an intensely flavored, concentrated offering displaying the essence of the Garnacha fruit from which it was made. It contains a bit of structure and might actually deliver a bit more complexity with a year of bottle aging. However, there is really no reason to hesitate. This is a superb value.Importer: Ole Imports, New Rochelle, NY; www.oleimports.com
