Winemaker's notes:
Baron de Lestac rouge is aged in oak barrels for several months.
With each successive vintage it develops a delicacy, elegance and tannic structure

>>ON THE NOSE : A fine bouquet, balancing oak with red fruits.

>>ON THE PALATE : Good structure; silky, well-balanced tannins and oaky flavours combine to give a velvety smoothness.
