The 2014 Smith Haut-Lafitte has a much simpler bouquet than the 2014 Pape-Clément

camphor and licorice

The palate shows great balance

(located at the southern end of the Vosne section of Nuits)

hence my question mark

Vougeraie, Bienvenue Batard Montrachet other_regions_italy The 2014 Smith Haut-Lafitte has(from a . 46 ha holding). Pretty notes of honeysuckle and a mix of citrus and white orchard fruit, especially pear, are trimmed in just enough wood to notice. The citrus character continues onto the rich, concentrated and almost painfully intense medium weight flavors that conclude in a bone dry, lengthy and beautifully balanced finale. This is also quite tightly coiled and a wine that will need all of a decade to reach its peak.
