Le Petit Smith Haut Lafitte 2024 – Pessac-Léognan

The nose is elegant, precise and offers a fine fleshiness. There are notes of pulpy yellow apple, bright kumquat and small notes of white flowers, associated with a subtle hint of peach blossom, almost almond blossom, and discreet hints of toastiness. The palate is well-built, fruity, elegant, racy and offers precision, fine tension, fine energy, a tangy frame, purity, a crystalline side and a coating side. A lovely fatness with precision, finesse and mastery. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of kumquat, quince and small notes of juicy/bright yellow peach, combined with fine touches of pineapple, almost verbena, as well as a hint of toasted almond, flowers and a discreet hint of almost crunchy apricot. A tannic hint in both aromatic and structure. A nicely rounded, elegant, gourmand wine, that offers a certain pulpiness.
