95 JG. "The 2004 Perrières is another stellar wine, that will probably end up just outdistancing the Charmes in this vintage, but it will be neck and neck as to which is the best wine in the cellar for many, many years to come. Out of the blocks the Perrières is the most complex wine in the cellar, offering a beautiful, deep nose of apples, tangerines, iodine, almonds, hints of the honey to come, fine minerality, spring flowers and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and racy, with flawless focus and balance, a fine core of fruit, and a very long, complex and snappy finish. The minerality here is buried deep in the glorious fruit, but this wine should prove to be significantly more minerally as the puppy fat peels away a bit in the years to come."
