Purity of fruit here with plum and cherry aromas, as well as wet earth and spice. Light stone. Very floral and vivid. Full-bodied with layers of ripe tannins that are balanced and polished. Savory finish. Incredibly polished and refined. Goes on for minutes. One of the finest Smith-Haut Lafittes I have tasted. Drink after 2024.

Black-hearted with dark cherry rim. Surprisingly sweet and fragrant on the nose, with both black and dark-red fruit. Beautifully sculpted and textured tannins, still very compact but smooth and shapely, all filled out by the rich, dry, scented cassis fruit flavours. Elegant already but should have a long life ahead. Impressive persistence. A beauty in its balance. (JH)
