SMITH HAUT LAFITTE

This wine has a dark red, almost black colour. The nose is redolent of fresh fruit (raspberries, cherries,
strawberries) and, after swirling in the glass, more complex notes of spice, dried herbs, fennel, and a slight
floral nuance.
The wine is straightforward and well-balanced on the palate, with good concentration and plenty of
volume. Despite a substantial quantity of tannin, it remains smooth and rich, with excellent balance between
substance, density and freshness. The texture is delicate and precise. The finish is very long and complex
with fresh red fruit, liquorice and cinnamon, as well as more terroir-induced notes of smoke and flint.
