1995 Château Smith-Haut-Lafitte Pessac-Léognan (WIML89,WA90,WS90)

Tasted September 29, 2005 at an offline so brief comments only. Opened and served immediately in Spiegelau Authentis Magnum glasses. I believe this wine was brought by bigred_seeker. Color was garnet to dark garnet with just a little bit of bricking at the edges. Nose of bell pepper at first pour later gave way to fresh roasted coffee as the wine was allowed to sit in the glass. Flavors of green beans at first that once again as it sat in the glass finally gave way to some currants and other rich fruits. Recommend this bottle be held for a couple more years before retasting. If drinking now then be sure and decant 30 minutes to an hour to allow it to open up. Recommended.
