Robert Parker called the 2009 Chateau Smith-Haut-Lafitte, The finest wine ever made by proprietors Daniel and Florence Cathiard, and rated it a perfect 100 Points. The second wine was produced with the same care and attention as the grand vin. This is an excellent opportunity to enjoy the fruit-forward and complex 2009 Le Petit Smith-Haut-Lafitte which is ready to drink now and should continue to age well for the next 6 years.
