Château Smith Haut Lafitte

Smith Havt Lafitte 2020

Nose: slightly jammy blackberry fruit.

Palate: reasonably clean blackberry fruit. Some nice internal aromatics. Mineral. Some oak that should integrate.

Long and juicy finish.

Smith Story

Sonoma County Sauvignon Blanc 2017

A replacement for the Pairing as a Marry Edwards regular bottle. Definitely sharper and less pronounced stone fruit, but nicely balanced and went well with all dinner courses. Bottles went too fast to see how they opened, so questionable still as a stand-alone (probably great); high marks for elevating the usual crisp white wine dishes. — 7 years ago

I'm not inclined to drink American Rose, but more and more wineries are getting it right. Crisp and light, with the dry finish of a good red. This one is a good one. — 11 years ago

Awesome, I do confess a major sweet spot for LBV Porto, one cannot drink 1977 Fonseca once a week (or at least THIS one)!! Cheers!

I'd try to drink a '77 Porto once per week, but I'll run out...in about one week 😂
Not much depth on that legendary vintage here

@Severn G, early in my wine collecting (NYC, early to mid-80s), I was lucky enough to purchase a few 1970s and then case lots of 1977 Fonseca, Taylor,, Grahams (inconsistent, some outstanding and some average), and half-cases of Dow’s and Warre’s. I probably have a half-case of Fonseca and Taylor left, the others less, but damn, the 1977s remain amazing. BUT, I figured you had multiples of those wines in your cellar!! 🤷🤷

Royal City Washington Syrah 2006

A dense glass-staining purple, the '06 Charles Smith Syrah 'Royal City' is a monumental wine. Big, pungent aromas of game, truffles, black olives and dried fruits exploded from the glass. Complex, but still seamlessly balanced. The tastes stayed on the palate for a seemingly infinite length of time. Simply wonderful! — 12 years ago
