A gloriously scented Lafite, with similarities to Mouton - hardly surprising since their vineyards adjoin. Intriguing notes of sandalwood. This wine has remained bewitching and was a highlight of a great 2009 Lafite vertical. Do not look for weight now, but the charm is very attractive indeed. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
