Bordeaux Visits - November 2023: Aromas of stone, lemon zest, gooseberry, jasmine and exotic spices. Fresh citrus notes on the palate, along with honeysuckle and white florals, hints of clove and allspice. Medium-plus acid, silky throughout, big finish.

Rich, lush and creamy, with an alluring bouquet of honeysuckle, lemon rind, white peach, vanilla, and honeyed lemon peel, this is going to be simply fabulous on release, providing pleasure for over a decade. Drink from 2023-2034.

The 2020 Smith Haut Lafitte blanc is a really nice rendition of this wine, clean and classic, showing good volume of white peach, pineapple, and lemon curd. Pleasantly mouth-filling. Score deferred as I tasted this after the reds.

UGCB tasting Bordeaux 2020 Walkaround tasting so in general just short notes (Beurs van Berlage, Amsterdam.): Beautiful bouquet with fresh fruits and beautiful oak. Same on the palate, juicy acidity and an enormous length. Beautiful wine. 94+

The 2020 vintage UGCB tasting in Amsterdam 03/06/2023 (Amsterdam): Still partly closed, although the bouquet shows a lot of flowers and gentle wood, some puppy fat, concentration and very elegant bitters; I sugggest the potential for a point more in future.
