Description: Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte is a premier red Bordeaux from the Pessac-Léognan appellation, known for its power, elegance, and complexity. The wine is typically a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot to enhance structure and aromatics. In the glass, it displays a deep ruby color with purple reflections. The nose is expressive and refined, offering ripe blackberries, cassis, plum, cedar, graphite, and subtle hints of spice and tobacco from oak aging. On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with firm yet polished tannins, bright acidity, and layers of dark fruit, cocoa, and mineral undertones, culminating in a long, persistent finish.
