Description

 2018 is one of the great modern vintages for Smith Haut Lafitte — owned and operated by the Cathiard family, who transformed this estate from a mediocre performer into one of Bordeaux’s most exciting addresses. The 2018 rouge is mineral and stone-driven, with blackcurrant, black cherry, and plum framed by graphite, green tobacco, and spice — deep and long, with a backbone built for the cellar. Now through 2040.
