Appearance | The red wine Perelada Ex Ex 14 is medium purple with a garnet rim. |
---|---|
Nose | Quite complex and expressive, showing the appealing combination of depth, local character and elegance which defines the Grenache wines from Empordà. Wild berries, some hints of flowers, lavender and aromatic herbs, combined with touches of dry earth, some mineral and spicy undertones. |
Palate | This wine from Castillo de Perelada is tasty, characterful and lively. Crunchy red berries with a deep mineral core and some luxurious notes of Eastern spices, flowers and balsam. The mid palate is focused and well-defined, and the finish is very long and distinctively earthy. |
Our personal opinion | Complex and exclusive, Perelada Ex Ex 14 2019 is a noteworthy effort. |
