Product Description
JS98 "Very subtle and complex with sliced cooked apples, pie crust and hints of oyster shell as well as Iodine. Full-bodied, tight and layered with mineral and true terroir character. Just a touch of seamless tannins. Solid and fresh. Needs decanting young. Serious for aging. Better in 2020." James Suckling, Dec 2018
LP97 "The 2015 Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc needs a fair bit of swirling to unlock scents of warm yellow apple, white peaches, and lime leaves with underlying scents of cedar chest, coriander seed, and wet pebbles. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers a silken texture and seamless freshness supporting the tightly wound citrus and mineral fruits, finishing on a chalky note." Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Aug 2025
