Acacia blossom, lemon-lime, exotic tea – especially jasmine – and a hint of tangerine peel. The dense, indeed almost thick and unctuous, medium-bodied-plus flavours possess unusually good power in the context of what is typical for Perrières, all wrapped in a hugely long bitter-citrus-inflected, stony and tightly wound finale.
