1981 Château Smith Haut Lafitte

Community Tasting Note

wrote:

Sunday, December 6, 2015 - Received small sample to try as we were leaving Labe Mell's 89th birthday party. He had stored this in a passive cellar since sometime in the 1980s.

Gorgeous nose - tobacco, earthy, dried cherry, dried cranberry. Similar palate. Medium body with medium+ acidity & very long finish - clearly on way downhill but this was a beautiful bottle to sample.

93+

thanks Labe!
