Chateau Smith Haut-Laffite 1990

Super smooth and at its pinacle, the Chateau Smith Haut-Laffite 1990 (Pessac-Leognan, Bordeaux) is deep ruby and clear, with pronounced aromas of sweet black cherry, leather and oak, followed by a super smooth and velvity palate redolent with fine tanins and red fruit that lingers on the long finish. Drink now. Score 18/20. Hogi Hyun, 3 Feb 2005.
