“Les Hauts de Smith Blanc 2012 displays a clear bright yellow pale color with light green hue. The first nose is very open with notes of yellow and white fruits (white peach, apricot and mango), notes of broom flowers, acacia and sweet hints of vanilla. Medium-bodied and crisp, with fig and citrus notes, the second wine of Smith Haut Lafitte, the 2012 Les Hauts de Smith, shows quite well. It doesn’t have the body or richness its sibling, but it is well-made and merits interest. Drink it over the next 5-7 years.”
