At tasting, the château Smith Haut Lafitte white 2016 displays a pale yellow colour. The very expressive nose reveals explosive scents of citrus (pink grapefruit, citron) and yellow fruits (fresh mangoes, vine peaches), along with floral (acacia) and mineral notes (rifle stone). Harmonious and elegant on the palate, the wine is fresh, dense and reveals a formidable texture. Long, unctuous, complex, vivid, the Château Smith Haut Lafitte 2016 offers a finish with extraordinary salinity and subtle touches of flint typical of the gravelly soils of the estate.
