Medium to full-bodied, rich and seductive, it completely fills the palate with perfumed black berry preserves and superbly plush tannins, finishing epically long and beautifully layered. (LPB) 2016 red Château Smith Haut Lafitte has a dark, almost black colour and a deep bouquet. The suave, elegant nose is quintessentially Graves. It combines red and black fruit (blackberry, black cherry, raspberry), delicate floral aromas, sweet spice (star anise), smoky nuances, flinty overtones, etc. What tremendous complexity! The wine is powerful and refined on the palate. Subtle, utterly charming, beautifully concentrated, and tremendously well-balanced, 2016 Smith-Haut-Lafite is altogether rich and suave, with a wonderful texture. It displays depth, power, elegance, sophistication, smoothness, and intense flavours… What more could one possibly want from a wine?!2016 Château Smith Haut Lafitte Rouge, Pessac -Leognan</p>
