The 2004 Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte brings powerful and enticing aromas of freshly crushed black fruits, roasted coffee, barn floor and mineral. On the palate the terrior really becomes the main focus with the mineral and stony characteristics from gravely soils of Graves taking over. This finishes up really nice with fresh dark fruits and espresso flavors lingering. (Drink 2012-2023) - March, 2012 (JD)
