Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte am 21.02.2018 wie folgt: This vintage is a blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon. 33% Merlot. 2% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. matured in 65% new oak barrels. Medium to deep garnet-purple. the 2015 Smith Haut Lafitte has a totally dazzling nose of exotic spices—star anise. fenugreek and Sichuan pepper—over a core of chocolate-covered cherries. wild blueberries. plum preserves. violets and earthy wafts of truffles. moss. tilled black soil and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied. beautifully balanced and packing a lot of flavor into a relatively modest package. it fills the mouth with spice and herb-laced black and blue fruit layers. supported by very ripe. very finely grained tannins and seamless freshness. finishing with epic length. This is already a show-stopping. heart-pounding beauty. but should also age incredibly!
Antonio Galloni bewertet den Smith Haut Lafitte 2015 rouge im Februar 2018 wir folgt: Explosive and powerful in the glass. the 2015 Smith Haut Lafitte is going to need time to come into its own. Black cherry. gravel. smoke. bittersweet chocolate. leather. licorice and savory herbs effortlessly fill out the wine's ample frame. The 2015 is an especially dark. concentrated Smith Haut Lafitte. Swaths of tannin carry the wine into a huge finish accented by hints of raspberry jam. chocolate. leather and tobacco. Today. the 2015 is more power than finesse. It will be interesting to see how things develop from here.
James Suckling bewertet den Smith Haut Lafitte 2015 rouge im April 2018 wir folgt:The currants and blackberries on the nose are very impressive with wet-earth and lavender undertones. Full body and super-integrated tannins that melt into the wine. The quality of the tannins is incredible with fantastic length and mouthfeel. So much concentration and balance at the same time. Such beauty. From biodynamic grapes. This is the greatest wine ever from here. Drink in 2022.

This is a very polished and precise young wine with beautiful depth and intensity. Full and sexy. It shows blueberry and black currant character with walnut and chocolate undertones. The tannins have a lovely texture. Joy to taste.

Neal Martin bewertet den Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte im April 2016:
The 2015 Smith-Haut-Lafitte is adorned with a special label to celebrate the 650th anniversary of the château and the 25th vintage made under the ownership of Daniel and Florence Cathiard. It is a blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon. 33% Merlot. 2% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. picked between 23 September until 12 October with the Cabernet Franc. Matured in 65% new oak (although technical director Fabien Teitgen mentioned that he could have added more if he felt it would benefit). it has a very intense. blueberry and crème de cassis scented bouquet. a touch more opulent than its peers with hints of freshly shucked oyster shell developing with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannin couched in gorgeous. satin-textured black cherry and cassis fruit. tinged with cedar and pencil shavings. It lingers very long and sensually in the mouth. completing a sophisticated and powerful Smith Haut-Lafitte that should age in splendid fashion.
