ROBERT PARKER “The Château Smith Haut Lafitte 2014 is a blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, cropped at 35 hectoliters per hectare that is matured in 65% new barrels. There is a strong and persuasive marine influence on the nose, suggestions of iodine and seaweed infusing the black fruit that is very well defined and nicely embroidered with the oak. The palate is medium-bodied with edgy, slightly chalky tannin; saline in the mouth and linear, focused, quite penetrating finish. In a similar fashion to the Haut-Bailly, this is a more “athletic” Smith Haut Lafitte, but one that allows the terroir to come through and be articulated. This is a stylish “S.H.L.” from talented winemaker Fabien Teitgen.”
Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte 2014 is a magnificent red wine from the heart of Bordeaux, showcasing the balance and finesse of the region. With a rich blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, it offers deep flavors of dark fruit, subtle spice, and earthy undertones. Aged to perfection, this wine delivers a complex and elegant profile, making it an exceptional choice for fine dining or aging.
