Chateau Prieure Lichine 2014

DECANTER: "Very good black fruits nose and fine supple palate with natural concentration, finesse and fragrance. A charming wine with enough depth for the future. Drinking Window 2018 - 2030."

JAMES SUCKLING: "This is a fragrant and very attractive mid-weight wine with plenty of ripe fruit to balance the full, dry tannins, which give it some real power on the finish. Drink or hold."

WINE ENTHUSIAST: "This is a concentrated wine, packed with tannins and black plum fruits. It has some of the fruity crispness of the vintage although with its dark structure and concentration it is obviously a wine that needs to soften over time. Rich and juicy at the end, it will be ready to drink from 2024."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Boysenberry, espresso, black cherry and licorice scents kick off the nose. Medium bodied, with a touch of too much oak at the moment, this needs time to develop, and integrate. While this is already better in bottle than barrel, in time, this should be an even better wine, as it continues to come together."

WEINWISSER: "Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Süss und cremig in der Nase und auch mit genügend Vanillin in der rotbeerigen Frucht versehen. Während nicht wenige Margaux im Innern etwas trocken wirken, hat dieser Wein einen wunderschönen Charme im Body."

JEB DUNNUCK: "From the southern part of Margaux, the 2014 Château Prieure Lichine is little gem well worth seeking out. Offering lots of classic black cherry fruit, tobacco, herbs, and damp earth, it’s medium to full-bodied, impeccably balanced, and has moderate, chalky tannins on the finish. Like most 2014s, it’s already drinking nicely, yet is going to keep for 15 years or so. Tasted twice."
