96AM
"A kaleidoscopic mix of aromas that include citrus, minerals and green apples are followed by flavors of laser beam purity and focus that simply ooze class and breed with absolutely perfect balance. The finish is perfect with acidity that exquisitely frames each nuance yet remains in the background as a supporting, rather than dominating, element. This is a truly spellbinding wine and one cannot drink this and remain indifferent and in sum, the '96 Perrières is a reference standard expression of the terroir and incontestably one of the finest wines of this vintage."
