Quinta de Foz de Arouce

Vinho Regional Beiras Red Blend 2012

Interesting red blend that features the Baga (85%) grape. Blended with Touriga National (15%). Very dark color but lighter in body than I would have expected. Bright and jammy red fruit aromas and flavors with hints of prunes and dark chocolate. Solid acidity and very long finish. Moderate finish and tannins. In a very good place right now. Thanks for sharing and insisting we open this one, Ron B! — 4 years ago

Quinta de Foz de Arouce

Vinhas Velhas de Santa Maria Vinho Regional Beiras Baga Red Blend 2005

80% Baga with 20% Touriga National blended in. Only made in select vintages. Dark ruby color throughout. Bright and concentrated red fruit notes on both the nose and palate. Hints of red flowers, baking spices, minerals, garrigue and tobacco. Extremely long finish. Beautiful balance even at 18 years of age. Acidity and tannins have harmonized beautifully. Fresh tasting and still quite powerful. I do not understand why the Baga grape has such a poor reputation. Every Quinta de Foz de Arouce wine made from this grape that I have had the pleasure of tasting has been exceptional. — a year ago

Proibido Grande Reserva Douro DOC 2013

Blend of multiple indigenous varieties (Donzelinho, T. Francisca, Alvarelhão, Sousão, etc.) from old vines in Vila Nova de Foz Côa in Douro Superior (Upper Douro), not far from the Spanish-Portuguese border (La Raia, an area known for its smuggling past. Hence the name). Aged in used oak barrels for 15 months. Intense nose with aromas of dark fruit, prunes, chocolate and some spices. Powerful, full-bodied. Despite the 15% alcohol it feels quite fresh. Elegant. Polished tannins. Great at almost 10 years — 3 years ago

Grande Reserva Douro Red Blend 2016

Dark bramble fruit on the nose. Blackberry, fig and earth on the palate. Good balance of mouthwatering acids transitioning to tobacco and leather lingering tannins on the finish. More sophisticated than sweet. — 4 years ago
