2021 Le Petit Smith Haut Lafitte, Pessac-Léognan
Tasted April 2022. Spices and woody herbs frame the core of blackcurrant fruit here, with Cabernet flavours dominating. Fresh, medium-bodied and savoury in style, but with enough concentration of fruit to age well. This feels very classic and it offers fantastic value.

The 2021 Le Petit Haut Lafitte is showing well today, evoking aromas of spices, pencil lead and dark berries. Medium-bodied, elegant and round, it’s elegantly tense with powdery tannins, concluding with a charming, fresh finish. It's a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot that matured in 30% new oak barrels.
93/100 – Antonio Galloni, vinous.com

The 2021 Le Petit Smith Haut Lafitte is a seriously impressive wine. A burst of sweet dark fruit, kirsch, lavender, sweet spice and leather makes a strong first impression. Charming and engaging, the 2021 offers tons of Cabernet Sauvignon character and a kiss of new French oak that works so well here. Impeccable.
