Recently removed from excellent cellarage

Château Smith-Haut-Lafitte--Vintage 1920
Martillac (Graves), cru classé. Château-bottled
Bin-soiled label. Level base of neck
Vintage note: A great start to one of the best-ever decades in the history of Bordeaux. But it nearly didn't happen, as rot-inducing wather during an exceptionally cold July and August caused problems and a reduction of crop. Saved by a sunny September. Small production, high quality. *****. Michael Broadbent, Vintage Wine
