Note di degustazione
A beauty of cassis, plum, tobacco leaf and spice, this dark plum/purple-hued, medium to full-bodied 2003 reveals sweet, round, cassis flavors. It has reached full maturity, but shows no signs of decline, and should continue to hold at this plateau for another decade. Although the 2003 is not up to the perfect levels of the 2009 and 2010, it is unquestionably a noteworthy success in a vintage that did not favor Pessac-Leognan.

Bricky garnet. Seems still to smell of oak – cedary spice and mocha. Something slightly less clean and a little farmy too. Thickish tannins but resolved, gamey on the palate. More flavour than finesse. Persistent though. (JH)
Deep crimson. Very round with fully resolved tannins. Much easier and possibly more worked than most with some Graves fragrance. (Average group score: 15.8) (JR)
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.
