Château Smith Haut-Lafitte 2017
Bordeaux - Pessac-Leognan - Cru Classé - Red Wine -In this 2017 vintage Chateau Smith Haut signs a very great wine. A vintage now delicious to drink, with a lot of finesse and elegance that will delight fans of Pessc Léognan.
The Merlots collected to perfect maturity bring substance and power to the wine, the Cabernets length and freshness.
The wine is deep red.
The nose is expressive with aromas of red fruits (cherry, raspberry), followed by spices (licorice) and toasted, woody;
The palate is ample, powerful, dense and concentrated with great length. The finish on the palate is persistent, long, with velvety tannins.
Blend of the 2017 vintage: 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot.
Ageing: 18 months in barrels (60% new barrels made in the Château's cooperage).
Wine Advocate (Robert Parker) Tasting Notes: 97+/100
Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Smith Haut Lafitte charges out of the gate with bold expressions of warm redcurrants, baked blackberries and crème de cassis with hints of spice cake, dried roses, underbrush and pencil lead plus a waft of candied violets. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a fantastic core of densely packed red and black fruits, framed by wonderfully ripe, rounded tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and perfumed.
