Smith Haut Lafitte Rouge - 2000 (750ml) Rioja Alta the finish dense and unyieldingOne cant say enough about this winery, which may still fly under the radar of most consumers. The fully mature 2000 displays gorgeous aromas of camphor, lead pencil shavings, unsmoked tobacco, plums, and black currants. With full body, a velvety texture, and beautiful weight, richness, and length, this superb wine should evolve, possibly improve for another 15 years. Its a beauty! Robert Parker 95 points
