"Berries and cedar with some chocolate and hazelnuts come through clearly on the nose and palate. It's medium-bodied with fine tannins and a savory finish. Lightly chewy and polished at the end."

"The 2021 Les Hauts de Smith is classy and polished. Les Hauts is 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. What impresses most about the 2021 is its freshness, verve and aromatic depth. Crushed flowers, spice, tobacco and cedar built effortlessly. The balance here is impeccable."

"The 2021 Alter Ego is a bright, savory wine driven by Cabernet Sauvignon from light, sandy soils. Intensely aromatic, the Alter Ego is a bit clenched today, but that should not be an issue in a few years ‘time. Dark red plum, mocha, new leather, spice and cedar build in the glass, lifted by bright acids and a kick of blood orange that adds vibrancy."

"The currants, cedar and violets are very bright on the nose, with sandalwood undertones and pencil shavings. This is medium-bodied, beautiful and firm, with finesse and real Lafite character for their second wine. Racy at the end."

"The 2021 La Dame de Montrose is a very serious second wine. Dark, pliant and super-expressive, the 2021 possesses notable depth and class to burn. Dark red/black fruit, graphite, spice, new leather and incense build as this deep, beautifully resonant Saint-Estèphe gains volume in the glass. This is impeccably done."
