Description
In a nutshell:
A polished 4ème Cru Classé Margaux with good ripeness from an ever reliable estate.
The lowdown:
While Prieure-Lichine has neighbours who are among the most exalted châteaux in Bordeaux its wines certainly stand comparison with the best of them. The 2016 is an elegant, classic and polished Margaux with vibrant aromas of blackberry and red berry fruit, sweet spice and floral notes. The body is medium-to-full with supple tannins, ripe dark berry fruit flavours with touches of tobacco, smoke and minerally notes. A very well made wine, another excellent Prieure.
96/100 - Antonio Galloni, 95/100 - Jane Anson (Decanter Magazine)
When to drink:
A fine wine that is just entering its drinking window but will reward cellaring and while it's reached a good level of maturity it'll continue to improve well into the 2030s.
