2019 Château Smith Haut Lafitte
Community Tasting Note

93 Points
Saturday, January 20, 2024 - Tasted blind in a Cab showdown. Opened six hours prior to slowly oxygenate. Got mostly ripe red plum and some leather. It’s a bold wine with a punch of both tannin and acid, which I enjoy. It was very good but clearly could use a little time to develop.
