G5 PUERTA BONITA 2004 (WINE # 12) / MADRID (ZONE 7)
PRODUCER: VINOS SIN-LEY (MANUEL MARTINEZ)

Rating: 92 points

The extraordinary 2004 G5 Garnacha (from 80-120-year old vines) is pure kirsch liqueur, reminiscent of some of the older-styled Chateau Rayas Chateauneuf du Papes. (However, when is the last time anyone paid $13 for a bottle of Rayas? Perhaps 1959?) This is a super, elegant, pure effort offering that wonderful liquid minerality and raspberry kirsch liqueur-like component that makes Rayas so special. The good news is that production is around 2,500 cases. Run ... don’t walk to latch onto a few bottles of this beauty! It should drink well for
5-6 years.
