Le Petit Smith Haut Lafitte 2019

Restrained nose with complex aromas of blackcurrants, dark plums and tobacco. Gentle and plush, with gravelly tannins and a crisp acidity. Seriously wonderful and complex expression of a modern Bordeaux. Nominated by Jane Anson. Drinking window: 2022-2040. Part of Wines of the Year 2021: The Top Value Wines. Score – 95.
