"It had been quite a few years since I last saw the 2000 Perrières from Dominique Lafon, and the early and very clear promise the wine offered back then is very much delivered upon today. The deep and utterly beautiful nose offers up a complex mélange of apple, pear, passion fruit, iodine, magically complex, chalky minerality, orange zest, almond paste and a deft framing of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and à point, with a fine core of fruit, impeccable focus and balance, crisp acids and outstanding length and grip on the seamless and electric finish. A great wine in its prime."
