It has the extraordinary ability to exude not only an immediate cedary perfume but, very much a Lafite specialty, the way it opens up further avenues of fragrance and subtle by-paths, lingering in the mouth. Each time you pick up your glass you notice another facet of scent and taste. It also happens to be a good drink, still a perfect beverage. Last tasted Dec 2000 *****."
