Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc Vintage:2006 The pretty 2011 Barolo TreThis expands outwards from the first moment; its rich and round with a creamy texture. Made from 90% Sauvignon Blanc with 10% Semillon, it has notes of apricot, fleshy pear and exotic fruits that fill the mid palate, with menthol, white pepper and mouth scraping salinity on the finish. Beautifully juicy but concentrated flavours. Exemplary white Bordeaux, mixing tension and density. Ready to drink but will age.
