2005 Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte Rouge Cru Classe Pessac-Leognan [Future Arrival]

Pro Reviews

Wine Advocate (WA)

This sensational, opaque blue/purple-colored wine from Smith Haut Lafitte has a gorgeous floral nose with notes of graphite, blueberries, blackberries, and cassis that jump from the glass of this inky, very dense, yet strikingly pure wine. Light on its feet despite its stunning concentration and multi-layered mouthfeel, this wine has fabulous intensity, richness and length. Quite impressive, and still incredibly youthful, this is a superstar of the vintage, and capable of lasting another 25-30 years. – Robert M. Parker, Jr. – 29-06-2015
