Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc Pessac-Leognan 2024

The 2024 Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc is complex, dynamic and an absolute delight. Everything about the 2024 speaks to class. Brisk acids drive through a core of citrus fruit, almond, mint, chamomile and white pepper. More than anything else, I admire the wine’s tension and energy. Clean saline notes extend the dry, bracing finish. Drinking window: 2028-2039. (Antonio Galloni,vinous.com)
