Incredible intensity thanks to almost no lees stirring and no cold soaking, instead vinified on the limit of reduction - they now only stir the lees when the reductive aromas are threatening to go too far. Instead they focus on harvest date and a short but firm pressing. Whatever they are doing, it works. Huge length, sweetness, tension and density; it gives you a lovely salinity on the finish, and always that Smith Haut Lafitte flourish. This truly stands out among the 2015 whites. From a blend of 90% Sauvignon Blan, 5% Sauvignon Gris (on gravelly soils) and 5% Semillon. Drinking Window: 2018-2030. Score - 96. (Jane Anson, Decanter, April 19, 2016)
