Dão - Touriga Nacional Grape - Coimbra, PT - 15
 
Quinta de Foz Arouce is a blend of Touriga Nacional, and Baga here from the pink granite soils which are marred by the acidity of the evergreen forest which surround it. The complexities are astute with notes of turned Earth, and a touch of crushed rock, peat moss, and dead leaves - all Burgundian in essence. The fruit is blackcurrant which is enveloped in a palette of black licorice, and huckleberry. There are notes of mint and thyme as well which offset the lighter black cherry finish. This is an awesome wine to share with a crowd. There is something for every one to enjoy here.
