SMITH HAUT LAFITTE [PESSAC LEOG] 2019 750ML

99 Points - James Suckling Intense blackberry and graphite character coming out of the glass, together with dried violets, ink and some asphalt. Full-bodied with wonderfully integrated tannins that spread across the palate and then draw you deep into the wine. Lead-pencil and blackcurrant aftertaste. Tightly wound with a cashmere-like texture. (11/2022)
