Palest and orangest. Macerated. Raisiny. Not very fine. Very, very loose. No tannins. Quite soft and already declining. (JR)

Medium amber-red. Orange peel and old wood notes on the slightly exotic, volatile nose. Rather innocuous and hollow, with little flesh or flavor interest. Tails off on the dry finish.
About the producer
Smith Haut Lafitte
Ch. Smith Haut Lafitte is one of the leading lights of Pessac-Léognan today – all thanks to Daniel and Florence Cathiard, who took over the property in 1990 and have since transformed the estate, converting to biodynamics and crafting wines of increasing finesse.
