Château Smith Haut Lafitte - 2017 -
Rating 97+ Drink Date 2024 - 2057 Reviewed by Lisa Perrotti-Brown Issue Date 16th Mar 2020 Source March 2020 Week 3, The Wine Advocate 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.
