Foz de Arouce Tinto 2007;

The 2007 TINTO (QUINTA DE FOZ DE AROUCE) is a blend of Baga and Touriga Nacional, younger vines (10 years) than its Vinhas Velhas sibling, but pure, clean and beautifully crafted. Elegant and ethereal in the mid-palate, it is extremely bright and crisp, creating a mouthwatering finish. It is a wine that needs a little time as well as tasters that have some appreciation for its style, but it should age beautifully, develop exceptionally well, and offer a lot of bang for the buck. It will be a great food matchup for high acid foods. This is not a wine for those who want jammy, sweet, fruity stuff, but let me add, since I may have scared you--don't be scared! With time and air, this did come around, began to show a little character and game, and proved that it did have some tasty fruit and balance, too. It is a very nice value point, has some potential upside, and is something that can be cellared. Drink 2012-2019.
