Vinous – Antonio Galloni – 93-95/100
The 2020 Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc is compelling. Soft, silky and caressing,
the 2020 is all charm and seduction. Ripe pear, apricot, white flowers, mint
and a touch of new oak are all deftly woven together. Best of all, the 2020
will drink well pretty much upon release. It’s a gorgeous wine in the
making.
Robert Parker – The Wine Advocate – 94-96+/100
The 2020 Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc is 90% Sauvignon Blanc, 5% Sauvignon Gris and 5% Sémillon. It fermented with indigenous yeasts in French oak, 50% new, within which it will age for 12 months on lees with bâtonnage before spending a further two to three months in tank. It prances out of the glass with vivacious notes of lime blossoms, Golden Delicious apples and green mango, plus hints of coriander seed, shaved ginger and wet pebbles. The medium-bodied palate possesses lovely harmony even at this nascent stage, featuring bright apple and citrus flavors with soft acidity and a chalky finish.
