Ch Smith Haut Lafitte, Pessac-Leognan 2014

97 points Wine Enthusiast
"Dense and beautifully ripe, this is a rounded rich wine. It focuses on the tropical yellow-fruit spectrum. That gives a full wine with wood-spice hints and just the right amount of citrus acidity to give it a lift. Drink this finely structured wine from 2023." *Cellar Selection*

96 points James Suckling
"A big black-cherry and bitter-chocolate nose leads into a rich, concentrated palate, where the fruit easily holds sway over the powerful, dry tannins. It’s these that drive everything along right through to the assertive, slightly earthy finish; impressive long-term stuff! Try in 2021."

Jancis Robinson
"62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 6% Cabernet France, 2% Petit Verdot.
Very impressive combination of concentration and freshness. Real distinction here. 17.5/20 points."
