Note di degustazione
The 2015 Les Hauts de Smith is gorgeous. Dark, pliant and inviting, it exudes the character that makes the wines from this site so appealing. Plush fruit and soft contours add to the 2015's considerable appeal. Dark red cherry, plum and a range of more lifted floral/spice notes add nuance.

100% Sauvignon. Very clear-cut and tight. Edgy. Some people love this. Bit tight on the end. (JR)
The 2015 Les Hauts de Smith, from the estate's youngest vines, shows once again how delicious the best entry-level wines are in this vintage. Succulent, open-knit and seductive, the Hauts offers striking depth in a round, voluptuous style that reflects both the radiance of the year and elevated presence of Merlot. Dark red cherry, pomegranate, tobacco, mint and cinnamon add the closing shades of nuance. The blend of 55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Sauvignon results in an attractive wine, but one that doesn't capture the full personality of this great site.
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.
