Note di degustazione
Looking at the reds, the 2019 Les Hauts De Smith is a more Merlot-dominated cuvée. A plumper, sexier, more rounded effort offering lots of darker cherry and currant fruits as well as spicy oak, graphite, and tobacco, the tannins are slightly coarser, but it's still a ripe, seamless, sexy red. Drink it over the coming decade.

A Merlot-based blend distributed exclusively by Bordeaux négociant Duclot, the 2019 Les Hauts de Smith offers up aromas of rich berry fruit, cherries, bay leaf and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, ample and velvety, it's broad and fleshy, with a ripe core of fruit, fine tannins and lively acids. Gourmand and expressive, it is drinking well on release.
The 2019 Les Hauts de Smith presents a crisp, pure nose of black plum and red currant fruit, plus subtle undergrowth and light minty aromas. The palate is harmonious on the entry with pliant tannins and gentle grip. A little firmer on the finish than last year, albeit still offering attractive clove and black pepper notes that linger on the aftertaste. Delicious.
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.
