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.
