Note di degustazione
Magnum. Dark ruby with a rust rim. And colourless right at the edge. Fully evolved with some dustiness and very faint decay on the nose. Sweet and soft. Definitely on the way down with the tannins imperceptible and the acid just starting to dominate the fruit, but fun and soft and sweet. Lightly dry finish. Warm, throat-warming finish. An old wine for Brits? Lacks the punch of later vintages. (JR)

New owners, plus the hiring of renowned oenologist, Michel Rolland, have already resulted in higher quality. For example, the 1990 is a surprisingly strong effort from this perennial underachiever. The color is dark ruby and the nose offers attractive, seductive aromas of sweet red fruits, vanillin, and spices. In the mouth, there is a smooth, velvety texture, fine ripeness, succulent fruit, attractive glycerin, and a heady, lush finish. This sexy, easy-to-drink Graves should provide delicious drinking for another 5-7 years.
Youthful, yet slightly one-dimensional now. Plum, berry and mineral aromas. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins, firm acidity and a medium finish. Still seems a bit closed.--1990 Bordeaux retrospective. Best after 2004. 13,000 cases made. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2000

Informazioni sul produttore
Ch. Smith Haut Lafitte è oggi uno dei protagonisti di Pessac-Léognan, tutto grazie a Daniel e Florence Cathiard, che rilevarono la proprietà nel 1990 e da allora hanno trasformato la tenuta, convertendosi alla biodinamica e producendo vini di crescente finezza.
