Château Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc Pessac Léognan 2019
Smith Haut Lafitte sets the pace with dry whites in Pessac Léognan, one of the handful of truly brilliant examples of this style that is sure to age well, and deepen in character as it does so. Expect gunsmoke and flint on the opening beats, along with vibrant green apple, citrus and white peach fruits. Structured, succulent, excellent quality. Same score as the last time I tasted it, but I am extending the drinking window, because this have all you need for ageing. 50% new oak. 55% of overall production.
