Château Smith Haut Lafitte 2022

Château Smith Haut Lafitte 2022 is a polished, highly expressive red from one of Bordeaux’s most admired estates, combining elegance, precision, and real depth. Silky in texture and already impressively composed, it shows the kind of refinement and cellar pedigree that has made Smith Haut Lafitte a benchmark in Pessac-Léognan.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2022 vintage is deeply colored and alluring, with a vibrant, youthful intensity. The nose opens with blue and purple fruits, alongside lifted notes of lavender, espresso, and mocha, giving the wine both aromatic freshness and darker, more savory complexity. On the palate, it is silky and nuanced, with finely woven tannins framing a core of ripe fruit and subtle oak-driven spice. While it already feels beautifully put together, there is clearly more to come; this is a vintage with strong aging potential, and its balance suggests it will develop additional layers of finesse and complexity over time.

Food & Serving
