2016 Château Prieuré-Lichine

Description

96   Antonio Galloni for Vinous
“The 2016 Prieuré-Lichine is all class. Floral, silky and nuanced to the core, the 2016 is a wine of pure and total seduction. Freshly cut flowers, vibrant red fruit and creamy tannins all add to the wine’s undeniable allure. In 2016, Prieuré-Lichine is all class, not to mention one of the sleepers of the vintage. Don’t miss it!” (1/2019)

94   Roger Voss for Wine Enthusiast
“With vineyards in the southern Margaux village of Cantenac, this estate has produced a deliciously juicy wine. The structure follows a straight line between the tannins and the intense fruit and acidity. The wine should age well, ready to drink from 2024.” (5/2019)

93   Decanter
“Likely to be relatively good value, there is plenty of fruit purity here, allied with concentrated red fruit on the palate, firm, ripe tannins and some classical Margaux fragrance. Quite delicate and refined, this has a fine lifted character, all very well balanced. Very good result for Prieuré-Lichine in 2016.” (11/2021)

93   James Suckling
“A very suave, polished Margaux that delivers iodine and dark-stone aromas and a wealth of ripe, plush dark fruit that follows through to the palate in attractive, fleshy and juicy mode. Try from 2022.” (2/2019)
