Description

The 2019 Le Petit Smith Haut Lafitte is fabulous. Rich, powerful and vibrant, Le Petit packs a serious punch. Readers will have a hard time keeping their hands off this jewel of a wine. Black cherry, plum, new leather, licorice, mocha and dried herbs build as this effusive, generous wine shows off its racy, alluring personality. I loved it.

The more Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated second wine, the 2019 Le Petit Haut Lafitte is dense purple. with a promising bouquet of cassis, cedary spice, tobacco leaf, and background oak. It picks up some classic Graves scorched earth notes as it sits in the glass and is medium to full-bodied, has a concentrated, layered, balanced mouthfeel, and a great finish. A serious, impressive wine, it will benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age and drink brilliantly over the following 10-15.

Deep garnet-purple in color, the nose of the 2019 Le Petit Haut Lafitte needs a little coaxing to reveal notes of freshly crushed blackberries, wild blueberries and blackcurrant pastilles plus wafts of garrigue, pencil lead and damp soil. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has classic black fruit, cedar and mineral-tinged layers with a sturdy frame of grainy tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing with an herbal lift.
