This is the second wine of Smith Haut Lafitte, designed to be more Left Bank in style with more Cabernet Sauvignon (55%) in the blend. It has touches of smoke and bell pepper inflecting the black, slightly tarry fruit. The palate has a tannic entry, hints of graphite and bell pepper, very good definition and structure, masculine and classic towards the finish. Very fine. Tasted March 2011. Score: 90 - 92 Neal Martin, Wine Journal, RobertParker.com 01 May 2011 |

This is a new second wine made at Smith Haut-Lafitte, but a different style from the other one called Haut Smith. This is 55 percent Cabernet Sauvingon and the rest Merlot. Full and rich with a sweet tobacco, dark chocolate, coffee and fruit character. Ripe and round tannins. Score: 92 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 20 April 2011 |
