Tasting Note: Showing a pale yellow color with a very aromatic, fruity and spicy nose, the 2009 Smith Haut Lafitte offers a nose of white pepper and grapefruit which also displays a smoke character. Fat and soft on entry, as often, this wine is pleasant for its pulpy and sweet flesh, which can make us believe the wine has a low tension when actually the wine performs extremely fat. It amplifies on finish and becomes tasty and melting over a flavor of anis, pear and white fruits. It is very long and sappy, and above all, impossible not to swallow. (90pts, Jean-Marc Quarin)
