Les Hauts de Smith 2021

The 2021 Les Hauts de Smith, the château’s Merlot-based wine is plump, juicy and expressive, as it so often is. Pretty aromatics, red-fleshed fruit, rose petal and spice meld together in this understated, mid-weight red. The 2021 is beautifully done. Drinking Window: 2024-2033. Score – 90-92.
