Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes

JancisRobinson.com – 16.5

Tasted blind. Some mineral scent. Very sweet with flattering purple-fruit flavours and riper tannins. Intense. [19/01/2022]

Anticipated maturity: 2026-2042

Vinous – 94

The 2018 Smith Haut Lafitte is a powerful wine. Huge, searing tannins dominate the balance. Readers will have to be exceedingly patient. With several hours of air the fruit finally starts to emerge. Blackberry, grilled herb, smoke, licorice and incense all take shape in the glass. The impression is of brooding, somber, unrestrained power. Sadly, mildew took with it 50% of the potential crop. [Antonio Galloni, 29/03/2021]

Anticipated maturity: 2026-2043

Robert Parker – 97

A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, aged in 60% new barriques, the very deep garnet-purple colored 2018 Smith Haut Lafitte bursts onto the scene with showy scents of creme de cassis, mocha, licorice and cedar chest, followed by suggestions of baked plums, smoked meats, tar and tobacco leaf. The medium to full-bodied palate brings sophistication to all that flamboyant fruit with a beautifully styled frame of finely grained tannins and bold freshness, finishing bright and fruity with loads of minerally sparks. This is a stunning, singular style that is sure to turn heads! [Lisa Perrotti-Brown, 13/03/2021]

Anticipated maturity: 2026-2056
