Blend mostly Sauv Blanc (90%) with 10% Semillon, aged 50% new oak. Pale lemon with aromas of stone and tropical fruits, citrus and blossom with spicy notes. Palate flavors of peach, apple and grapefruit citrus with honeysuckle and pepper spice. Medium+ length, balanced acidity, ending with a fruit and mineral spice character. Very good! Will age well!

The 2017 Smith Haut-Lafitte is a head-turning wine that is absolutely singing in its youth and will provide drinking enjoyment for decades to come. Straight out of the gate the wine is beautifully perfumed as the wine shows bright honeysuckle and mango tones giving this an exotic edge aromatically. The palate shows off its silky smooth texture, providing a stunning mouthfeel. Once on the mouth the wine shows impressive length with an incredibly long finish. Simply put, this is a jaw-dropping Bordeaux Blanc that will cellar well for many decades. Drink 2020-2045- 97
