Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Château Smith Haut Lafitte, Grand Cru Classé, Pessac Léognan, 2014

Plush black and red berries frame the entry with black cherry, plum and mulberry flavours adding nuance. A little age has softened the tannins beautifully, they are now svelte and mellow but with just enough bite to work gracefully with an assortment of food. A hint of sous bois, damp earth and leather are starting to develop, but this is still primal and sumptuous. A lovely floral lilt provided by the Petit Verdot melds with a gentle Christmas spice character.

Daniel and Florence Cathiard have taken this Pessac estate to the next level. The wines here outshine many of the top names from the more fashionable communes and are challenging the likes of Haut Bailly, La Mission and even Haut Brion for supremacy in the Graves. Their 2009 received a perfect 100 points from Robert Parker and we think the 2010 is even better. The style is pure seductive fruit and a silky texture; the quality is exceptional. Kudos to Daniel and Florence for turning this good, but slightly underperforming estate into one of the finest in Pessac Leognan.
