1998 Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte Rouge Pessac Leognan

(90 Points) A beautiful wine of symmetry, finesse, and elegance, this deep ruby/purple-colored offering reveals classic aromas of black currants, new wood, and scorched earth. This pure, medium-bodied, restrained, measured, graceful 1998 offers impressive overall symmetry as well as well-integrated tannin. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2018. Wine Advocate # 134, Apr 2001
