Château Smith Haut Lafitte - 2012 - Pessac-Léognan 4e grand cru classé barbecue smokeRobert Parker's Wine Advocate : The opaque bluish purple 2012 Smith Haut Lafite offers up notes of licorice, graphite, blueberry and blackberry fruit, a medium to full bodied mouthfeel, stunningly ripe, velvety tannins and a long, long finish. This is another sensational effort from the Cathiards that is perfectly balanced, complex, super rich and pure. Drink it over the next 20 25 years. Drink 2015 2040.
