It requires some aggressive swirling but here the all but inexpressive nose is notably more floral in character with its combination of rose petal, lilac and honeysuckle scents that are nuanced by hints of spice, citrus and white orchard fruit. There is also more evident minerality present on the beautifully delineated flavors that don't lack for richness thanks to the abundant dry extract that also helps to buffer the firm acid spine on the angular finish. This is textbook Perrières that's going to need plenty of time.
