Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Smith Haut Lafitte charges out of the gate with bold expressions of warm redcurrants, baked blackberries and crème de cassis with hints of spice cake, dried roses, underbrush and pencil lead plus a waft of candied violets. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a fantastic core of densely packed red and black fruits, framed by wonderfully ripe, rounded tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and perfumed.

The 2017 Smith Haut Lafitte is fantastic. Rich, sumptuous and opulent, the 2017 dazzles with total class. Inky blue and purplish fruit, chocolate, licorice, menthol, sage and lavender infuse the 2017 with striking layers of depth and complexity. A wine of tremendous character and balance, the 2017 is flat-out gorgeous and very clearly one of the wines of the year.

Intense blackberry and raspberry paste flavors run through the middle, flanked by steeped anise, black licorice and roasted apple wood notes. The finish is grounded by a strong graphite spine, while the fruit pumps through. A lingering echo of violet adds a graceful accent. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2022 through 2038. 10,000 cases made. — JM

Wonderful depth of fruit here with blackberries, wet earth, mushrooms, dark chocolate and violets. Full-bodied, tight and poised with polished and compressed tannins. Consistent finish. Linear and focused. A blend of 60% cabernet sauvignon, 35% merlot, 4% cabernet franc and 1% petit verdot. Drinkable now, but better in 2022.

Fruits noirs, cerise, bouche souple, veloutée, tanins bien fondus, présentation soignée, séduisant et élégant à la fois.

The 2017 Château Smith-Haut-Lafitte checks in as 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, fermented in oak tanks and aging in 60% new French barrels. It has a fresher, more lively style than normal but shows a beautiful purity and clarity in its crème de cassis, graphite, spring flower, and gravelly mineral-like aromas and flavors. Its acidity is nicely integrated, it has fine, ripe tannin, and a balanced style that’s going to evolve nicely. It’s certainly a terrific wine from winemaker and director Fabien Teitgen.

60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 1 `⁾/0 Petit Verdot. Gra-natrubin mit leuchtender Mitte. Filigranes Cassisbouquet mit Wachotder und verführerischen Watderdbeeren. lm zweiten Ansatz heller Tabak, Ko-kosschokonoten und dunkle Edelha-zer. Am krâftigen Gaumen punktet er mit stützenden Muskeln, guter Struk-tur und einer bestechenden Prâzision. lm langen, gebündelten Finale betôrt ein volter Korb mit reifen Watdbeeren und enorm viel Extrakt, Hat ein gi-gantisches Lagerpotenzial. Beweist die Extraklasse von Fabien Teitgen und seinem Team. Das ist dieses Jahr für mich der beste Rotwein aus Léognan!

Dialectique où se mêlent agrumes très mûrs, vanille et une texture douce. La bouche est ample, suave, garnie et roborative, elle gagnera en nuances à l’élevage.
