Product Details

Varietal Red Wine
Region Bordeaux
Country France
Producer Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte
ABV 14.0%
Size 750 ml

A very deep, dark ruby color that is virtually opaque. The dark-fruit (cassis/elderberry) aromas are taught & overlaid by tobacco leaf & cedar aromas. The palate displays lifted red berry & dark plum fruit. The acidity is very fresh & the plentiful fine-grained tannins add a velvety & dusty texture - there is drying tannic grip on the finish. The alcohol is a touch warming & lifts exotic cedary spices at the end.

Professional Ratings

97 James Suckling
The blackcurrant and blueberry aromas are lifted and beautiful. Lots of flowers, too, together with some mushroom and dried-flower undertones. Full-bodied with firm and very silky tannins giving a lovely texture. Bright acidity lifts the finish and gives it drive and force. Better after 2025
97 Wine Enthusiast
This hugely dense wine is complex and full of juicy, succulent, smoky Cabernet Sauvignon. The tannins are at the service of the fruits. The wine still has a long way to go before maturity. Don’t think about drinking it before 2025.
