2016 Lateral Kathryn Kennedy Chateau Pichon Baron with 47-hectares of MerlotWinemaker Notes Very deep dark royal purple color. Classic Bordeaux style nose with tobacco leaf herb notes and dark brooding black berry aromas plus hints of cherry cream candies. Ideal amounts of subtle creamy oak barrel influences.
