About this Item

Pessac-Léognan, 2005
3 (1 x 3) 750ml

Château Smith Haut Lafitte has been transformed during the last decade from being a perennial underachiever to being one of the leading estates in the Graves region. In 1990 it was bought by former Olympic skiing champion, Daniel Cathiard, responsible for its incredible success.

Critics Ratings

'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.' - ­Tasted 2015 - Robert Parker 98/100
