I was deeply impressed with the wines I tasted at Smith Haut Lafitte. In 2013, the whites and reds are both terrific throughout the entire range. Winemaking remains pretty straightforward. The reds are done with manual punchdowns and pumpovers, while the whites are aged on their lees in barrel, with the malos blocked. These remain some of the most distinctive wines in all of Bordeaux.
