Château Smith Haut Lafitte – Blanc – 2010

On opening, the Sauvignon Blanc character was very clear (in fact 90% Sauvignon Blanc) – the fresh gooseberry bouquet. A little while later, it had become vivid passion fruit, and a little later again intense honeysuckle. Beautiful acidity and length. Extraordinarily lovely. This is at least a 96/100 wine, sublime. (Apparently beaten by the 2005, though).
