CHÂTEAU SMITH HAUT LAFITTE Cru Classé Pessac-Léognan 2020
The 2020 Smith Haut-Lafitte has a relatively straightforward bouquet with notes of forest floor, tree bark and black fruit. Scents of crushed stone and sandalwood emerge with time. The palate is medium-bodied with a lightly spiced entry, very cohesive and putting on weight toward the finish. I suspect that the nose is just closing up a little, hence my prudent score, but the palate is indicative of potential. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.
GEVREY CHAMBERTIN Justice des Seuvrées Domaine Christophe Perrot-Minot 2018
(from La Justice and Les Seuvrées). Light reduction is enough to blur the nuance of the ripe dark berry fruit and sauvage scents. There is both excellent freshness and verve to the solidly powerful, indeed even robust, medium weight flavors that retain good focus on the detailed and lingering finish. This too needs to develop more depth but like the old vines Chambolle, the underlying material appears to be present for that to occur.
