Château Smith-Haut-Lafitte 2019
Grand cru classé de Graves - Pessac-Leognan - Bordeaux
- Rating: 99/100 James Suckling
- Tasted by JS in 2022: "Intense blackberry and graphite character emerges from the glass, along with dried violets, ink and a bit of asphalt. Full-bodied, with wonderfully integrated tannins that spread across the palate and draw you deep into the wine. Lead pencil and black currant aftertaste. Tightly wrapped with a cashmere texture. A full and thought-provoking wine. Try it after 2028 and beyond."
When to enjoy this wine?
- To be drunk after a few years in the cellar - Estimated: 2028 to 2040+.
