Château Smith-Haut-Lafitte Le Petit Haut Lafitte 2014 (1500ml) Languedoc

Château Smith-Haut-Lafitte Le Petit Haut Lafitte 2014 (1500ml) LanguedocCritical Acclaim JS91James SucklingIntense dried cranberry and herbal nose with some toasty oak precedes a rich but not heavy palate with plenty of tannic power and a long, dry finish. Needs two or three years to soften. WS90Wine SpectatorOffers a ripe, sleek feel, with solid cassis and dark plum notes lined with hints of bay and tobacco, backed by a tug of earth on the slightly smoky finish. Drink now through 2024.
