Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte Pessac Leognan 2010 750ml

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate – 98 Pts

Gorgeous, with alluring black tea and warm ganache notes that unfurl slowly, while the core of intense steeped plum, anise, blackberry compote and black currant confiture sits patiently in reserve. The beautiful loam-, tobacco- and tar-filled finish displays major heft, but also remarkable polish and grace.
