Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc Pessac Leognan
| Vintage: | 2020 |

| Description: | Decanter 96 Points - " This brings together depth and power, concentrated and hugely saline right from the start. Rich in texture, with layers of stone fruits from nectarines to white peaches, with a steely edge that squeezes through the fruit, holds interest and adds persistency. A delicious white wine with the point of bitterness on the finish adding another dimension. Average yields 29hl/ha for the whites. 50% new oak. Harvest started August 20, one of earliest on record, through to September 9th. Certified organic (ab) as of 2019 in the vineyard.". James Suckling 95 - 96 Points - "a tight, phenolic white with light tannins that give the wine form and balance. Its full-bodied and lightly chewy with dried apple, lemon and peach. Minerally and chewy. Flavorful.". Wine Advocate 94 - 96 Points - " It prances out of the glass with vivacious notes of lime blossoms, Golden Delicious apples and green mango, plus hints of coriander seed, shaved ginger and wet pebbles. The medium-bodied palate possesses lovely harmony even at this nascent stage, featuring bright apple and citrus flavors with soft acidity and a chalky finish." |
