Pessac Leognan - Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte Rouge 2022

100 pts, Georgina Hindle, Decanter. "Deep and evocative, this bursts with blackcurrants, milk chocolate and floral perfume. Instantly captivating, the palate is silky yet structured, with tannins seamlessly supporting vibrant red and black berries. Broad and powerful, yet it glides, showcasing Cabernet's structure, Merlot's generosity and cool spiced fruit. A mineral core adds complexity, with flint-like nuances. A masterclass in power and balance - and unmistakably Smith. 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot. Organic."
