2004 Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte
Description
A beauty of cassis, plum, tobacco leaf and spice, this dark plum/purple-hued, medium to full-bodied 2003 reveals sweet, round, cassis flavors. It has reached full maturity, but shows no signs of decline, and should continue to hold at this plateau for another decade. Although the 2003 is not up to the perfect levels of the 2009 and 2010, it is unquestionably a noteworthy success in a vintage that did not favor Pessac-Leognan.

Tasting note
2004年的史密夫拉菲堡莊酒展現了佩薩克-雷奧良葡萄酒的優雅與結構。這款葡萄酒擁有深邃的石榴紅色澤，令人愛不釋手。香氣中，黑加侖子、李子和煙草葉的和諧旋律，伴隨著泥土和雪松的基調。口感豐富，帶有甘草、黑櫻桃和橡木的微妙風味，彷彿雨後濕潤的森林。質地柔滑，黑色辛辣水果的味道在餘韻中縈繞不去。此酒採用有機和生物動力農法製作，並在酒桶中陳釀18個月，其中60%為酒莊自製的新桶，確保了其獨特的個性。這款葡萄酒現已適飲，但承諾在未來幾年內保持其魅力。
The 2004 Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte is a testament to the elegance and structure that Pessac-Leognan wines are known for. This vintage presents a savory and classic profile, with a deep garnet-red hue that captivates the eye. On the nose, it offers a symphony of cassis, plum, and tobacco leaf, underpinned by earthy and cedary notes. The palate is greeted with a rich tapestry of flavors, including hints of licorice, black cherry, and a touch of oak, reminiscent of a wet forest after rain. The wine's texture is smooth, with dark, spicy fruits that linger on the finish. Crafted with organic and biodynamic principles, the wine has been aged for 18 months in barrels, with 60% being new and produced in-house, ensuring a unique character. This wine is ready to be enjoyed now but promises to maintain its allure for years to come.
