CHATEAU SMITH HAUT-LAFITTE PESSAC-LEOGNAN (GRAND CRU CLASSE DE GRAVES) 2008
Ks 563,000
Pessac-Léognan, Bordeaux, France
The 2008 Smith-Haut-Lafitte, which is somewhat reminiscent of the brilliant 1998, exhibits sweet cassis, tobacco leaf, earth, and barbecue characteristics in its complex aromatics. The wine reveals ripe, supple tannin, medium to full body, gorgeous fruit, impeccable purity, and a luscious texture. It should be relatively approachable in its youth, and last for 25+ years.
