Description
Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc 2013Pessac-Leognan
owc
Bottle (12)
A few unsold lots from The Lawrence Collection. These spectacular wines exhibit excellent color, though a few fills might be a little shy. We have sold over $3M of wine to date from this extraordinary collection, which is stored underground in the most precise of scientifically-dictated storage conditions.
"The 2013 Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc is beautiful, but it is going to need time in bottle before offering its best drinking. Today, the 2013 is intensely mineral and tightly wound, both of which bode extremely well for the future. The combination of aging in barrel on the lees but blocking the malolactic fermentation results in a white of unusual texture, pedigree and pure class. Fans of the Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc, and that includes me, will not want to miss the 2013. The blend is 90% Sauvignon Blanc, 5% Semillon and 5% Sauvignon Gris." (93-95 pts. Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Apr 2014)
"The 2013 Smith-Haut-Lafitte Blanc offers a payload of grapefruit, guava and melon aromas that are beautifully integrated with the oak. The palate is fresh and vibrant, very harmonious with a hint of sour lemon that complements that subtle tropical tone. It slips down the throat with ease, completing a gorgeous white Bordeaux. If you are intent on buying just one wine in this off-vintage, this is the one I would load up on." (94 pts. Neal Martin, Wine Advocate #227, Oct 2016)
