Château Smith Haut-Lafitte Pessac-Léognan (Grand Cru Classé de Graves) 2021 (750ml) CaladocWinemaker Notes Blend: 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot Professional Ratings 96 Decanter You might question this was a 2021 vintage, with its structure, style and charm combined with drinkability and ageability. A vibrant nose: pink roses, blackcurrants, strawberries, vanilla and milk chocolate, touches of pepper and toast. Supple, with bounce and energy, a firm frame but with a juicy, bright core of red berry

This is magical stuff that’s going to keep for three decades or more

full of delicacy coming from Merlot’s grape variety

lemon and pineapple – are present

yet in a toned and polished way

On the nose it releases sensations of wild strawber-ry in jelly

This wine has layers of flavors including honeysuckle

braised duck

lime zest and juice

Quite rocky

along with blueberry fruits and silky liquorice

hand-punched and pressed directly to barrel

It registers 15% alcohol
