Château Smith Haut Lafitte, Le Petit Haut Lafitte, Graves, Bordeaux 2015

Second wine introduced in 2008 – 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, vinified in its own cellar. Some excellent barrels could have gone in the first wine, but they were from young vines. Silky tannins, beautifully rich depth of fruit and less than 14%abv. Extraordinarily good: one of best second wines from this property, continuing its run of great form.
