Les Hauts de Smith 2019 – Pessac-Léognan

The nose is elegant, fine and offers finesse of the grain as well as a well-controlled power. It reveals notes of ripe lemon, fleshy/juicy vine peach, small notes of green apple associated with fine touches of mandarine flowers, lychee, fine hints of passion fruit, sense of the place and rose. The palate is racy, beautifully defined and offers precision of the fruit, gourmandize, suavity, a finesse of the fat and delicacy. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/ripe lemon, juicy kumquat, small notes of pulpy vigne peach associated with touches of sugared pink grapefruit, lychee, rose as well as discreet hints of quenette, a racy minerality, toasted/ripe almond and an imperceptible hint of lemon flowers. Good length. Gourmandize and sapidity on the finish.
