Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte 2009

100
/100

Sort-rød i farven. Uventet åben, moden skovjordbærnæse med friske blommer, fin mælkechokolade, typisk Pessac-eksotisme med appelsinskal, let jord og et let strejf af græs og hø. Race, lidt ru note af tanniner i næsen. Koncentreret chokolademund, noget bitter, stadig ru og sprød som altid i sin ungdom, men næsten charmerende for den ungdommelige, altid hårdbenede Smith, rig tannin, meget intens, frisk syre. Fuld volumen, brombær, meget struktureret ligefremhed, moden blomme, mere kraft og længde end charme, bliver en stor vin. 100/100

Parker om: Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte

The finest wine ever made by proprietors Daniel and Florence Cathiard, the 2009 Smith-Haut-Lafitte exhibits an opaque blue/purple color in addition to a glorious nose of acacia flowers, licorice, charcoal, blueberries, black raspberries, lead pencil shavings and incense. This massive, extraordinarily rich, unctuously textured wine may be the most concentrated effort produced to date, although the 2000, 2005 and 2010 are nearly as prodigious. A gorgeous expression of Pessac-Leognan with sweet tannin, emerging charm and delicacy, and considerable power, depth, richness and authority, it should age effortlessly for 30-40+ years. Bravo! 100/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte

I think the greatest Smith Haut Lafitte to date (possibly matched by the 2018), the 2009 Château Smith Haut Lafitte tastes like it did on release, offering a smorgasbord of Graves magic in its smoked blackcurrants, chocolate, cold fireplace, truffle, unsmoked tobacco, and Asian spices. While this is a big, rich, incredibly concentrated Graves, it nevertheless maintains a beautiful level of nuance and elegance, with silky tannins, a seamless, multi-dimensional texture, and a heavenly finish that keeps you coming back to the glass. As with all truly great wines, it delivers an incredible amount of pleasure, both hedonistic and intellectual, all while staying weightless, graceful, and elegant. Hats off to the Cathiard family and winemaker Fabien Teitgen for this legendary Graves! 100/100

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...
