Community Tasting Note

Sunday, May 27, 2018 - Wow!....This " second wine" of Ch. Smith Haute Lafitte is showing real class.
The oak and fruit have woven together into a pleasing blend .
On nose:oak , vanilla and fresh grapefruit
On palate: follow through of the above flavours + toasted almonds, peach skin , meyer lemon even a hint of dry toasted coconut and caramelized barley sugar....minerality and acid are in balance in this surprisingly fleshy Sauv/ Sem blend....a suitable competitor to the grand vin blanc!.....went well with roast chicken , Jasmine rice and green beans.
