Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc (Futures Pre-sale) 2011

"Showing a judicious blend of new wood and ripe fruit, this is a wine that has a creamed-apple texture. It’s full of bright grapefruit, sweet apple and green plum flavors.
Barrel Sample: 94-96 Points "

"Wow. This shows a beautiful density of fruit for this white with mango, papaya, mineral and light honey character. Long and subtle with plenty of gorgeous fruit. Grand cru Burgundy quality. Salty and mineraly. Lively.

"Bright, pale yellow. Vanilla and clove complement green mango, green fig and floral aromas on the deep nose. Rich, dense and suave, with lovely balance to the white fruit and aromatic herb flavors. Finishes long and pure, with chewy vanillin oak tannins supported by mid-palate material.
Range: 91-94"
