Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte 2010

/100

Sort med en let rød kant. Mango med praliné, efterfulgt af rige, velduftende sorte kirsebær og brombær. Men alt forbliver altid på den fine side. Gul frugt har en tendens til at balancere godt med sort frugt, hvilket sammen med den fine chokolade giver en ultralækker dessert! I smagen er der et stort syreangreb, men det understøttes på fremragende vis af varm alkohol og smørbløde tanniner. Gul frugt også her. Mango, appelsinskal, praliné og lidt Nutella. Så cassis og brombær, morbær, laurbær, lidt sort oliven og lakrids. Tjære, lidt brændt kød. Stor saftig længde, der viser stor harmoni. Kraftfuld vin med nok af det hele. Ikke overekstraheret, bravo! Vinen passer! Appellationen er meget begunstiget i år.

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte

A tour de force from Pessac-Leognan, the 2010 Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte matches the 2009 in terms of quality but possesses a more dense, powerful, compact style. Absolutely heavenly aromatics of blackcurrants, cassis, smoked tobacco, scorched earth, and truffle all define the aromatics, and it takes air to show at its best today. With full-bodied richness, massive concentration, and building tannins, it's flawless balanced, has an insane level of purity, and incredible length on the finish. This brilliant, brilliant Graves will evolve gracefully for another 40+ years, although it's insanely good today. Don't miss it.

Parker om: Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte

This is an extraordinary performance once again from the Cathiard family, the proprietors of Smith-Haut-Lafitte. They think the 2010 is even better than the 2009. (I disagree, but only slightly.) This wine has laser-like definition in its an remarkable nose of a subtle charcoal fire interwoven with spring flowers, creme de cassis, blueberry liqueur and spicy wood. Full-bodied, stunningly concentrated, long, rich and moderately tannic, this wine is set for an exceptionally long life of 30-40 years but can be drunk in 5-7. 98+/100

Smith Haut Lafitte

I dag er Château Smith Haut Lafitte som Cru Classé et af de mest strålende eksempler på succes i Bordeaux' nyere historie. Florence og Daniel Cathiard (en velhavende parisisk familie) købte det noget nedslidte Château Smith Haut Lafitte af den veletablerede Eschenauer-familie i 1991 (efter at det...
