"The 2004 Lafon Perrières is another outstanding example of the vintage and at age eight it is now really entering into its plateau of peak drinkability. The stunning nose soars from the glass in a complex and vibrant mélange of apple, passion fruit, iodine, salty minerality, orange zest, almonds, spring flowers and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and racy, with a wide open and succulent personality, outstanding mid-palate depth, exceptional focus and cut and a very, very long, soil-driven and supremely classy finish. Just a classic vintage of Perrières from Dominique Lafon, the 2004 has blossomed beautifully with bottle age, coming out from behind its youthful girdle of acidity to reveal classic mid-palate concentration and great style and breed."
