2006 Mouchao Tinto

The 2006 Tinto, the second in this issue's vertical, is a bit tight and nowhere near as complex or as expressive as the wonderful 2005 in this vertical. In a much more difficult year, though, it performs very well, showing some elegance, a backbone and good focus. This is not a great Mouchão, by any means, but it has its moments. It is drinking well and it should continue to do so for the next decade or so, at the least.
