Tasting note

One of the great estates of Pessac-Léognan, Château Smith Haut Lafitte's vines are planted in a single block on a Günz gravel plateau. This impressive vintage is ripe, concentrated and glossy - fantastic now, yet with years ahead of it.

In the press

This sensational, opaque blue/purple-colored wine from Smith Haut Lafitte has a gorgeous floral nose with notes of graphite, blueberries, blackberries, and cassis that jump from the glass of this inky, very dense, yet strikingly pure wine. Light on its feet despite its stunning concentration and multi-layered mouthfeel, this wine has fabulous intensity, richness and length. Quite impressive, and still incredibly youthful, this is a superstar of the vintage, and capable of lasting another 25-30 years. Drink 2015-2045.
Robert Parker, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
 An impressive nose of spices, dark fruits, and fresh forest flowers. Full-bodied, this has a solid core of fruit and super polished tannins. A fabulous wine, showing great structure and harmony, and a long, long finish. Beautiful stuff.
