WINE DESCRIPTION
This Château Smith Haut-Lafitte Pessac-Léognan from the Grand Cru Classé de Graves is a truly remarkable vintage. Its deep, ruby-red colour and bouquet of ripe fruits and sweet spices make it an elegant and complex wine. On the palate, it is intense, full-bodied, and well-balanced. Its dark berry and currant flavours, as well as notes of forest floor and cedar, are complemented by silky tannins and a long, smooth finish. This wine is a classic example of the great wines of the Grand Cru Classé de Graves.
