Introduction

Brought two vintages of SHL to The Palm for dinner.

Flight 1 (2 Notes)

  • 2006 Château Smith Haut Lafitte 93 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Graves, Pessac-Léognan

    Excellent. Exceeded my expectations. Early maturity has opened on this wine. Sweet, smooth tannins. Ripe. Pure. Fresh. Impressive weightlessness across the palate.

  • 2004 Château Smith Haut Lafitte 91 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Graves, Pessac-Léognan

    Similar aromas and flavors as the 2006, but the tannins are a bit grittier. Not as complete as the 2006, in my opinion. But an excellent wine.
