Tasting notes for Château Smith Haut Lafitte 1975
To the eye: A garnet robe with brick-toned reflections, of silky density and a brilliance subtly softened by time.
On the nose: Aromas of wild blackberry, seasoned cedar, blonde tobacco and damp undergrowth, lifted by a saline touch and a hint of graphite.
On the palate: A velvety texture, supported by a lively acidity and a chalky minerality, with a long and slightly spiced finish where notes of licorice and aged leather unfold.
Serve at 16-18°C in a Bordeaux glass to fully release its bouquet.
Vintage 1975
A vintage marked by balanced ripeness, yielding full-bodied and structured wines where freshness blends with an already well-defined aromatic complexity.
- Aging potential: Best kept for a few more years in a cool (12-14°C) and humid cellar, away from light.
