Ready to drink

Here are two good-value 2009s that are drinking beautifully now:

Le Petit Haut Lafitte Pessac Leognan 2009

The second wine of Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte could well do with a few more years in bottle, of course, but it's a superb wine full of generous fruit that is delicious right now. Better than many older vintages of the first wine of this property. Bordeaux Index, GBP220 per case (HK$2,705)

Chateau Poitevin, AOC Medoc 2009

Recently won the Coupe des Crus Bourgeois in Paris, this seductive wine has a light toasting of grilled oak and good fresh fruit. Fine & Rare, GBP67 per case.
