2017 Château Smith-Haut-Lafitte, Cru Classé Pessac-Léognan

2017 Château Smith-Haut-Lafitte, Cru Classé Pessac-Léognan

Classic and finessed, there's lovely tension and balance with crunchy red fruits and smoky richness. The finish is very fine with good energy, depth and length.

Tasting notes

This is a solid Smith for the vintage with blackberry and blackcurrant character. Full to medium body, firm and silky tannins and a lingering finish. Excellent potential here.
