Chateau Smith Haut Lafite Rouge 2016 Pessac-Léognan
八角と煙が差し込む、2016年の密度。
深く、ほとんど黒に近い色調を呈する2016年。ブラックベリーやブラックチェリー、ラズベリーの洗練された果実香に、繊細な花のニュアンスと穏やかなスパイス、八角、煙、火打石のかすかな香りが調和します。口に含むとアタックはバランス良く、豊かな濃縮感と密度、フレッシュさを備え、シルキーなタンニンが長い余韻へ。ローストした赤身肉やトリュフ入りリゾットとともに。
Tasting note
The Château Smith Haut Lafite 2016 has a deep, almost black color and a wonderfully complex nose: refined fruit aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and raspberry harmonize with subtle floral nuances, gentle spice, and subtle hints of star anise, smoke, and flint. The palate is powerful, elegant and irresistible. The attack is balanced and richly concentrated, dense and fresh. With its rich aromas of fruit, flowers, spice and smoke, the 2016 vintage is a true masterpiece, combining volume, concentration, power, refinement, freshness and complexity.
