Herdade do Mouchao, Alentejo Tonel No 3-4 Vintage:2013 Champonnets is always better inThe 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.
