Hauts de Smith (Smith Haut-Lafite) 2018 Pessac-Leognan

"Blended at the same time as Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte, Les Hauts de Smith 2018 was crafted and aged with the same care as the estate’s Grand Vin; the entire winemaking process is exactly the same." - From the website of Smith Haut-Lafite. The wine has a bouquet with notes of blackberry, blackcurrant, a hint of chocolate and sweet spices. The palate is medium-bodied with pretty tannins and a supple and elegant finish tinged with graphite. Delicious now and over the next ten years.
