Note di degustazione
This property is worthy of readers' interest as the wines continue to go from strength to strength (this is also true of the gorgeous dry white wines being made at Smith-Haut-Lafitte). A deep ruby/purple color is impressive for a 1993 Pessac-Leognan. The wine exhibits a textbook Graves nose of smoke, hot rocks, sweet currant and mulberry fruit, and a touch of roasted herbs. Elegant yet flavorful, this medium-bodied, concentrated wine reveals a sweet ripeness and entry on the palate, light tannin, a beautiful dose of toasty new oak, and a suave, savory style. This wine defines what I mean when I say that French wines often possess intensity without significant weight. Drink this lovely offering over the next 6-7 years.

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.
