"Come again?" I hear you say.
Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte 2006 for £42 per bottle?
Yes, I'm afraid it's true. It's hard to break it to you, but it's available at that price.
On a more serious note, it's both younger and more expensive than I like in a drinking wine.
But what a bargain! I had several glasses in late September at Lafitte itself (see pic)
It drinks older than a 2006, no doubt about it.
"Aromas and flavors of earth graphite sweet cassis cherries smoke and spice. Medium-bodied with admirable concentration soft tannin and impressive purity texture and length this powerful wine is built on an elegant framework" says this note on Exelwines.
Couldn't have said it better myself. You can buy it here.
