2021 Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte, Pessac-Leognan Futures 750mL (95-97 AG)
SKU: 226624
The 2021 Smith Haut Lafitte is fabulous. Rich and explosive in the glass, the 2021 possesses
tremendous intensity, much of that the result of low yields of just 20-22 hectoliters per
hectare, about half of what is typical here. The tannins are a bit firm today, but there
appears to be more than enough fruit behind all of that structure. Vivid aromatics further
suggest all the 2021 needs is time. I can't wait to see how it ages. Antonio Galloni
