Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte Pessac-Leognan 2016 France Cantine Lunae Bosoni yet polished and freshThe blackcurrant and blueberry aromas are lifted and beautiful. Lots of flowers, too, together with some mushroom and dried flower undertones. Full bodied with firm and very silky tannins giving a lovely texture. Bright acidity lifts the finish and gives it drive and force. 97 Pts James Suckling
