"Ready to drink

"Even riper, darker and more concentrated, [...] Original 2016 is also more rustic and more about black fruit than red fruit. Tannins are more abundant, with a fine, slightly firm grain, probably extracted during the 15 months of aging in new and 2-wine barrels. 5000 bottles are produced."

About the wine:

Even riper, darker and more concentrated, [...] Original 2016 is also more rustic and more black-fruited than red-fruited. Tannins are more abundant, with a fine, slightly firm grain, probably extracted during the 15 months of ageing in new barrels and 2-wine barrels. 5000 bottles were produced.

About the wine:

The nose is rather open for a two-year-old wine. It is also smoky. It's quite supple on the attack, then the still-hard tannins present themselves on the finish.
