2008 - Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte

"The 2008 Smith-Haut-Lafitte...exhibits sweet cassis, tobacco leaf, earth, and barbecue characteristics in its complex aromatics. The wine reveals ripe, supple tannin, medium to full body, gorgeous fruit, impeccable purity, and a luscious texture." Reviewed by Robert Parker. -The Wine Advocate, 93-95 pts.
"Displays blackberry, blueberry, mineral and flowers. Full-bodied, with firm tannins and a solid core of fruit. Balanced and very pretty, with lovely length." -Wine Spectator, 89-92 pts.
