Silky and velvety palate, with a bouquet of black and spicy fruit, affirming this great terrior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlend: 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProfessional Ratings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e96 James Suckling\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack cherries, blackcurrants, tobacco, cacao and some licorice on the nose. Firm yet creamy, with very fine tannins that spread across the palate. Medium to full body. So long and beautifully balanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e95 Wine Enthusiast\u003cbr\u003eThis wine already shows a luscious side with its ripe black fruits and rich tannins. The obverse shows structure and acidity. Both these elements will together give a wine for aging.\u003cbr\u003eBarrel Sample: 93-95\u003cbr\u003e94 Decanter\u003cbr\u003eRipe and deeply scented on the nose and palate, a lingering florality follows the dark black fruits from start to finish. This has a lovely richness, more textural depth than some with salty, liquorice and wet stone tannins that support the fruit and give the frame. Rich and intense but so sleek. Super glamour on show, but elegant in its presentation. Definitely mineral, a salty coolness on the finish but textured tannins giving an appealing chalkiness too. Bold but restrained and super refreshing. A great wine.\u003cbr\u003e93 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003cbr\u003eOffering up generous amounts of sweet berries, orange rind and licorice, the 2022 Prieuré-Lichine is medium to full-bodied, rich and layered, with a lively core of fruit that's framed by powdery tannins that assert themselves on the youthfully firm finish. This heavily morcellated estate (amounting to some 125 different parcels) continues to benefit from a more rigorous selection and better attention to detail regarding harvest dates.Rating:91-93\u003cbr\u003e92 Jeb Dunnuck\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTasted on two separate occasions, the 2020 Château Prieuré-Lichine has a solid perfume of redcurrants, blueberries, smoky oak, and chocolate that shows more and more floral nuances with time in the glass. Nicely textured on the palate, with medium to full-bodied richness, it has solid mid-palate depth, ripe tannins, and a great finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e92 Wine Spectator\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRipe and focused, with a violet and alder frame that marries well to the core of lightly steeped plum and black currant fruit flavors. The alder edge asserts itself on the finish, though the fruit keeps pace just a half-step behind. This should settle in with some cellaring. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château Prieuré-Lichine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42975637995744,"sku":"102473","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/ch-teau-prieur--lichine-margaux.png?v=1663884422","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/chateau-prieure-lichine-margaux-2018-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
