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.
NUITS SAINT GEORGES Les Murgers des Cras Domaine Christophe Perrot-Minot 2017
A blend of three Premier Crus (20% Les Cras, 20% Les Murgers and 60% Les Richemone), the 2017 Nuit Saint-Georges Les Murgers des Cras has a perfumed nose of precocious red berry fruit, baking powder and orange zest aromas. The smooth, harmonious palate is fleshy and generous, displaying more cohesion and sensuality than some of the other Village Crus. This is a comely, very pretty, charming Nuits Saint-Georges, vivid and zesty.
