Tasting notes from Fabien Teitgen, Winemaker:
Le Petit Smith Haut Lafitte red 2019 is extremely fine with silky tannins and beautiful aromas and flavours of Cabernet Sauvignon. Medium-bodied, with notes of blackcurrant, liquorice and dark chocolate. A great finesse and a good structure with a lot of ageing potential.

Smith-Haut-Lafitte produces some of the best wines – in both red and white – in Bordeaux. In recent years, investments by the Cathiard family have brought the quality up to a level that rivals the first growths. Critical praise has followed, and in 2009 they even garnered a 100-point score from Robert Parker.

Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

RP 90
"More serious than the forward Les Hauts de Smith, the 2019 Le Petit Haut Lafitte contains only 40% Merlot, with the balance Cabernet Sauvignon. Exhibiting aromas of crème de cassis, sweet berries, cocoa nib, pencil shavings and loamy soil, it's medium to full-bodied, lively and concentrated, with a more structured, reserved profile but more incipient complexity too. Best after 2023." -Robert Parker

Decanter

D 92
"Closed up on the opening bars, a little more austere than the 2018 with tight tannins but opens up to show elegance and balance, and the juicy salinity on the finish that has become so characteristic of Smith Haut Lafitte across its range of wines."

Wine Spectator

WS 91
"Ripe and silky, with alluring warmed cassis and mulled plum flavors and a red licorice accent. The finish, which is carried by lightly singed cedar and grilled savory notes, lets the fruit have the upper hand. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Drink now."

Wine Enthusiast

WE 94
"As one of the two second wines from this organic estate, Cabernet Sauvignon dominates this wine. It has structured black currant fruits as well as a beautiful pure line of acidity. The structure, while there, is open and integrated, meaning the wine will age well over the medium-term."
