Château Smith Haut Lafitte Graves 1949

Colour wise this is not so different from the 1959, with a lovely tawny walnut body, but on the palate it is far more evolved, walnut heading towards cold ash, forest floor and soy. You have to search for the flavour, but I would say enjoy the memories of a wine made just four years after the end of World War II, and drink up. No blend given (or perhaps recorded at this point), harvest from Spetember 22.
