Château Smith Haut Lafitte
Grand Cru Classé Pessac-Léognan Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
Pessac-Léognan, Graves, Bordeaux, France
A little funk on the nose that quickly blew off. Unreal that this was a 2003 because it presents much younger. Many many years ahead for that one.

Hotter vintage showing itself here. Usual notes of blackberry, tobacco and earth, with much less depth than better vintages. Drink now, won’t get any better.

Dec 17th, 2020Very nicely aged Bordeaux. 15 years on the tannins are resolved, the fruit is evident but absolutely no rough edges. Cherry and a hint of tobacco on the mid palate. Excellent with a simple dish!
