Lot 313 Details
CHÂTEAU SMITH HAUT LAFITTE 2020 (OWC)

Pessac-Léognan. Cru Classé

The 2020 Smith Haut Lafitte is more structured and introverted than its 2019 predecessor, unwinding in the glass with aromas of cassis and plums mingled with notions of pencil shavings, violets and minty new oak. Medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, its velvety attack segues into a multidimensional mid-palate that's framed by rich, generously extracted tannins that assert themselves on the long, youthfully firm finish. This is a strong effort that's true to the house style and which will reward a little patience. April 2023 Drink to 2055 WA 95+

1 d. mag.    per lot $500 - $700

Realised: $852
