• Jeb Dunnuck bewertete (03/2021) Château Smith Haut Lafitte 2018 wie folgt: "The 2018 Château Smith Haut Lafitte is based on 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, and the balance Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, all of which was brought up in 60% new French oak. Its dense purple color is followed by an incredible perfume of blackcurrants, blueberries, camphor, scorched earth, chocolate, and tobacco. It's young and unevolved, yet the purity is off the charts, and it slowly gives up more spice and floral notes with time in the glass. Hitting the palate with full-bodied richness, it's an incredibly concentrated, powerful wine that has plenty of baby fat covering serious amounts of underlying structure and tannins. It has some up-front appeal from an educational standpoint, yet really needs a decade of bottle age and is going to keep for 30-40 years in cold cellars. It comes closest in my mind to a mix of the 2010 and 2016"- 99 Punkte
• James Suckling bewertete (03/2021) Château Smith Haut Lafitte 2018 wie folgt: " Purity of fruit here with plum and cherry aromas, as well as wet earth and spice. Light stone. Very floral and vivid. Full-bodied with layers of ripe tannins that are balanced and polished. Savory finish. Incredibly polished and refined. Goes on for minutes. One of the finest Smith-Haut Lafittes I have tasted. Drink after 2024"- 98 Punkte
• Decanter bewertete (06/2021) Château Smith Haut Lafitte 2018 wie folgt: " One of the more notable successes in Pessac-Léognan is this 2018 thanks to its wonderful bouquet of red cherry, spring flowers, cedar and liquorice, graphite aromas and elegant earthy notes. With building tannins, a fresh, focused texture, and a great finish, it's not for those looking for instant gratification, and I suspect it will need a solid decade or more of cellaring, but it will evolve for 50 years or more. Drinking Window: 2025 - 2040"- 99 Punkte
• vvWine.ch bewertete (03/2024) Château Smith Haut Lafitte 2018 wie folgt: " Anfangs scheu, entwickelt wunderbar im Glas, reiffruchtig, mit subtilen Röstnoten, floralen Töne und Menthol. Dichter Gaumen, ein Mund voll Wein, feinste Tannine, top balanciert mit der Frucht. Im Abgang von grosser Länge, zeigt erfreulich viel Frische. Grosses Kino. Jetzt bis 2050"- 98 Punkte
• Robert Parker's Wine Advocate bewertete (03/2021) Château Smith Haut Lafitte 2018 wie folgt: " A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, aged in 60% new barriques, the very deep garnet-purple colored 2018 Smith Haut Lafitte bursts onto the scene with showy scents of crème de cassis, mocha, licorice and cedar chest, followed by suggestions of baked plums, smoked meats, tar and tobacco leaf. The medium to full-bodied palate brings sophistication to all that flamboyant fruit with a beautifully styled frame of finely grained tannins and bold freshness, finishing bright and fruity with loads of minerally sparks. This is a stunning, singular style that is sure to turn heads!! "- 97 Punkte
