Château Smith Haut Lafitte 2020 is an exclusive red wine from Pessac-Léognan, Bordeaux, with dark fruit, smoky minerality, and a powerful, elegant structure. This vintage is intense and harmonious with great depth, beautiful freshness, and a polished, age-worthy expression.

The aroma offers red and dark berries, complemented by liquorice, star anise, warm spices, smoky nuances, and a characteristic hint of flint. The taste is full-bodied and concentrated with a firm, well-defined structure and silky balance, where ripe fruit, freshness, and discreet mineral depth come together in a long and refined finish.

The wine pairs excellently with beef, lamb, duck, game, as well as braised and grilled dishes – an obvious choice for exclusive dinners and for those seeking a Pessac-Léognan with power, finesse, and aging potential.

95 /100

The 2020 Smith Haut Lafitte is more structured and introverted than its 2019 predecessor, unwinding in the glass with aromas of cassis and plums mingled with notions of pencil shavings, violets and minty new oak. Medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, its velvety attack segues into a multidimensional mid-palate that's framed by rich, generously extracted tannins that assert themselves on the long, youthfully firm finish. This is a strong effort that's true to the house style and which will reward a little patience.

Love the powerful and beautifully judged deep ruby colour. We are in full stride of great Smith Haut Lafitte once again, very much in primary fruit phase, and I would suggest putting it away for at least another three to four years to really soften up – look instead to the 2017 or 2019 of recent vintages. Intense, concentrated, chocolate drops, blackcurrant pastille, totally delicious and full of character and lift. Really does lift off through the palate from beginning to end, a totally class wine, fennel and dried mint leaf. Black and gold label celebrating 30 years of the Cathiards at Smith Haut Lafitte. 80% new oak, Fabien Teitgen technical director.

Deep dark ruby with purple reflections, a dark core, and subtly lighter at the rim. Fine herbal savouriness, ripe plum, black cherry, some oak. Medium body, sweet cherry, vivid tannins, mineral, fresh, and with ripe fruit nuances on the finish. The wine shows winning harmony, balance and definite ageing potential.

About the grape

Rød Bordeaux Blend

Rød Bordeaux Blend er en kombination af de druesorter, der traditionelt bruges til Bordeaux' berømte rødvine. Det er ikke en officiel betegnelse, men en praktisk måde at tale om en vinsstil, der nu dyrkes over hele verden – fra Californien til Australien, Sydafrika til Chile.

Essensen er fleksibilitet: typisk en blend af Cabernet Sauvignon og Merlot, ofte suppleret med Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot og Malbec. Hver drue tilfører noget unikt – struktur, frugt, krydderier eller blødhed.

Rød Bordeaux Blend er for dig, der søger kraftfuld struktur og dybe smagsnuancer. Det er vine med personlighed – nogle kan nydes straks, andre udvikler sig smukt gennem årene. Her får du en vinsstil med historisk fundament, der stadig inspirerer vinmagere verden over.

Serving

Rød Bordeaux Blend serveres bedst ved 16-18°C, hvor vinens frugt, struktur og kompleksitet står skarpest. Serveres den for varm, kan alkoholen virke mere dominerende, mens for lav temperatur dæmper aromaerne. Bordeaux anbefaler selv 16-18°C til strukturerede og lagringsværdige rødvine.
