Tasting Notes and Scores

92 JS

This is a new second wine made at Smith Haut-Lafitte, but a different style from the other one called Haut Smith. This is 55 percent Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot. Full and rich with a sweet tobacco, dark chocolate, coffee and fruit character. Ripe and round tannins.

This is the second wine of Smith Haut Lafitte, designed to be more Left Bank in style with more Cabernet Sauvignon (55%) in the blend. It has touches of smoke and bell pepper inflecting the black, slightly tarry fruit. The palate has a tannic entry, hints of graphite and bell pepper, very good definition and structure, masculine and classic towards the finish. Very fine.
