Drinking well. Lovely nose of crushed rose petals and a hint of grilled meat and scintilla of tobacco. A touch dry on the palate but otherwise smooth and a nice long lasting finish — 2 months ago

Classic brunello with dark fruit. And a scintilla of prune on the nose. Full bodied. Well rounded and a medium to long finish — 5 years ago

The 2013 Smith Haut Lafitte probably has one over the Domaine de Chevalier at the moment: a little more fruit and amplitude, certainly more delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, one of the spiciest Pessac-Léognan wines, yet there is just a scintilla of under-ripeness right on the finish. But at least there's personality in situ. Tasted at Bordeaux Index's 10-Year On tasting. (Neal Martin, Vinous, August 2023)

Lovely. Beautiful. Lighter than a brunello - and a bit brighter- nice hints of strawberry and scintilla of chocolate on the nose. Bravo — 4 years ago

So surprising and interesting! Definitely worth getting for summer months. Can taste the muscat but it’s lovely and dry and very balanced. — a year ago

Barossa Chardonnay mixed with Adelaide hills Pinot on skins amazing cloudy orange colour, surely whole bunch. Tastes like a Chardonnay to me but with that crazy pale orange. Natural wine so I read, delicious. 11.7%, no sulphides, dry long finish, just right acidity, citrus with a hint of strawberry/pear something? — 4 years ago
