The red wine Château Smith Haut Lafitte, vintage 2014 from the winery Château Smith Haut Lafitte has been rated in 2015 with 94 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot from the region Pessac-Léognan in France.
Complex aroma, a hint of graphite and smokiness, very ripe blackcurrant, mint, redcurrant, cranberry, elderberry and sandalwood. A paradox on the palate, enormously soft and delicately round, with a hint of sweetness, yet intensely fruity, not clumsy or drying in its viscous nature, remaining round and harmonious to the end, salinity and a mellow background of soft tannins provide support. Undoubtedly successful, but stylistically very unusual, and to a certain extent postmodern: the fruit seems like a quote from the world of fruit juice without the winey substance that normally accompanies it.
