Castillo de Perelada 2005 5 Finca Reserva Red (Empordà)

Country: Spain / 5 Finca Reserva
Variety: Red Blend Northern Spain
Winery: Castillo de Perelada / Empordà

An oddball blend of many grapes that offers a spicy oak cover and sweet, earthy notes from front to back. But it’s hard as nails, with blazing acidity, the result of which is a clacky, rough wine. On the plus side it has interesting flavors with tobacco and citrus notes.
