Domaine Comtes Lafon Meursault 'Perrières' Premier Cru(1989)

Burghound
Nov 23, 2004
94/100
May 2008
Softly perfumed, still quite fresh, highly nuanced aromas of honeysuckle, ripe peach and mango followed by big, rich, concentrated flavors of limestone, citrus and lightly charred oak. There seems to be an inexhaustible reserve of deep, rich, sappy flavors that offer both power and precision and a fine, subtle finishing note of minerality. This is drinking perfectly now though, it should continue to hold if not necessarily improve. In a word, marvelous and this is really not at all dissimilar from the same wine in magnum.
