"Ready to drink"

"Even more mature, darker and more concentrated, [...] Original 2016 is also more rustic and focuses more on black fruit than red fruit. The tannins are more abundant, with a fine, slightly firm texture, probably extracted during 15 months of aging in new barrels and barrels that have been used twice. 5,000 bottles are produced." (Wine Advocate 2018 - Robert Parker)

About wine:

It is quite open on the nose for a two-year-old wine. It is also smoky. It is quite supple on the attack, then the still-hard tannins come through on the finish.
