Herdade do Mouchao, Alentejo Tonel No 3-4 Size:3x750ml Tasted at the BI WinesThe 2013 Tinto Tonel No. 3 4 was aged for 40 months in large Portuguese and Brazilian tonels, then held back for 22 months in bottle. It comes in at 14. 5% alcohol. When last seen, this was brilliant. It is on track and developing well. Dark and more closed, this lacks the lively and fresher style of the regular Estate Tinto (either the 2014 or the 2015), but it has more power and plenty of depth. The flavor profile is perhaps not quite as enticing,
