Château Smith Haut-Lafitte 2010 Red (Pessac-Léognan)

A beautifully ripe wine with great black fruits that burst through the classic tannins. In its richness and in its structure, it combines the best of the vintage. Dark, complex, fruity and very rich, a magnificent wine for long-term aging.

Château Smith Haut-Lafitte 2010 White (Pessac-Léognan)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
A rich, ripe and finely balanced wine. Its acidity cuts through the full pear and apricot flavors to give a tight crispness. At this stage, it is all fruit and acidity, but it does have the potential for greatness with a more complex sense coming from the wood aging and the fine, tight texture.

Château Smith Haut-Lafitte 2007 White (Pessac-Léognan)
- $80
This is rich, but the balance of the wine is excellent, the wood very much underneath the smooth, opulent apricot and pear fruits. There is spice, which adds a fine piquancy to the texture. The finish is vivid, still young, needing at least five years to age.
