Château Smith Haut Lafitte
Graves Red Bordeaux Blend



Releases an incredible perfume of flowers, berries, pastels, potpourri, lead pencil, and graphite (w a hint of sautéed wild mushrooms on day 2) ~ cherry, blueberry, and blackberry flavors gain richness in the glass leading to a pain grillé and cocoa puff finish!
Will easily develop over the next 5-10 years w over a decade of plateau following BUT delivers plenty of enjoyment now as well
🤘🏆🍷

A great red Bordeaux that is actually showing better than the Blanc of the same vintage. A rarity indeed. People who know this House will agree that the red and black fruits, as well as the finish make this a tremendous value for a wine under $90.

Sexy rich ripe blackberries, dark cherries, strawberries, steeped fruit tea, super fine minerals, light dry earth, soften leather, underbrush, night acid and delicious long sexy finish.

This was singing tonight, floral and complex on nose and palate. Should go 20 years yet.

Black fruits, almost plum, on the nose. Aromas of a perfumed shoulder, a pretty barnyard girl who works hard but always manages to smell beguiling. Thinner on the palate than I hoped, but a delight.

Very nice Bordeaux, well balanced. Spices aromas and some leather in mouth, like it

Jul 1st, 2016A bit to hard character and tannins are hard and unbalanced profile - not a big success this vintage - lets see how it will go with a few years of aging
