Château Smith Haut Lafitte
Les Hauts de Smith Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend

Good balance. Not overpowering but not overly thrilling. Was also late in the night.

Sep 12th, 2023Blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Aromas of ripe red fruit, rose petals, dried red flowers and eucalyptus. Red and black cherry/raspberry and boysenberry fruit on the palate along with additional notes of chocolate, toffee, savory spices and mint. Well integrated oak on the long and slightly chewy finish. Rustic, well balanced and beautifully aged. Thanks for sharing this one, Ron B!

Sep 27th, 2024Even though still young, it drinks very well in 2020 without decanting. Deep color and medium-bodied. Nice dimension but the grapes come right through and it finishes really well.
