• Vinum bewertete (05/2024) Château Smith Haut Lafitte 2020 wie folgt: "Hochkomplex, dunkelfruchtig, Cassis, Brombeeren, faszinierende Mineralik. Am Gaumen sensationell dicht, dennoch frisch, ein Monument mit Würze und knackiger Frucht, Tannin von höchster Güte. Ein von A–Z grandioser Wein, majestätisch, für eine kleine Ewigkeit gebaut."- 100 Punkte
• Jeb Dunnuck bewertete (03/2023) Château Smith Haut Lafitte 2020 wie folgt: "Absolutely pure gold and reminding me of the 2009 (or is it the 2010?), the 2020 Château Smith Haut Lafitte sports a dense purple hue to go with incredible aromatics of blackberries, blueberries, scorched earth, wood smoke, and acacia flowers. One of the most concentrated, rich, and sexy wines in the vintage, this massive and extraordinarily opulent 2020 shows the vintage's pure, elegant profile yet backs it up with sensational levels of fruit and texture. Based on 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and the balance Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it already offers pleasure given its wealth of fruit, but it deserves 7-8 years of bottle age and will evolve for 40-50 years. Not enough can be said about the quality of these wines. Bravo to Florence and Daniel Cathiard, as well as to director Fabien Teitgen, for another incredible achievement."- 100 Punkte
• Decanter bewertete (01/2023) Château Smith Haut Lafitte 2020 wie folgt: " Vivid dark purple in the glass, but a remarkable clarity too. Fragrant black cherries, plums, cassis and perfumed aromas with blueberries, balsamic touches and white pepper. Rich, round, grippy and captivating, slightly plush but also tight, where you get a soft chalky, wet stone grip with lively acidity balanced by strict and spiced liquorice-touched fruit. You feel the leanness here but it's so well defined with clarity and precision. A sleeping giant right now, definitely not yet fully expressing itself but slowly grows to a long finish. There's something so utterly seductive about this wine, it's overt, forward, upfront, confident and powerful no doubt, this will need a while before it should be opened, but it’s a shining thoroughbred. Refined and purposeful. There’s a bit of magic in this bottle."- 98 Punkte
• James Suckling bewertete (03/2023) Château Smith Haut Lafitte 2020 wie folgt: " IExtremely fresh and deep in the nose with raspberry and blackcurrant character, as well as stone, fresh green tobacco and ink. Full-bodied with a dense center palate and gorgeous fine yet steely tannins. It calms down at the end with berries, citrus and some lavender. Salty at the end. Very minerally. Flinty."- 99 Punkte
