  "Exuberant from the first moment, with an expansive feel through the mid palate, and supple tannins that support the fruit without restricting it. Expect waves of blackberry, cassis, liqourice, smoked earth, campfire, pomegrante, crayon, giving plenty of Left Bank character. A fascinating estate from a terroir point of view, as former owner Alexis Lichine bought small plots from across the appellation when he was building it up from the 4ha that remained when he first bought it. Standing at 78ha today, the vines are divided into five sections around the Margaux appellation, and sub-divided into 150 plots.

  "A top wine, especially for its excellent price/quality ratio. Great aromatic floral finesse. Regal elegance on the palate: smooth texture and fine-grained tannins underpin engaging notes of black cherry, liquorice, wild strawberry jam and cassis. A long finish."

  "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, dezente Randaufhellung, attraktives süßes Kirschenbukett, feine Nuancen von Lakritze und Cassis, ein Hauch von Edelholz. Saftig, elegant, feine Fruchtsüße, gut eingebettete Tannine, angenehme Frische, bleibt lange haften, feiner Mokkatouch im Finale."

  "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."

  "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."

  "The 2016 Prieure-Lichine is deep garnet-colored. It bursts from the glass with vivacious scents of black cherries, blackcurrant pastilles, and lavender, leading to hints of menthol and pencil shavings. The medium-bodied palate is tightly wound with black fruit and savory flavors, supported by grainy tannins and tons of freshness, finishing with impressive length."

  "Still a bit oaky, but once past the espresso, you find licorice, smoke, chocolate, toast and black cherries. Round, supple, and fruity, with an hour of air it’s even better. Drink from 2024-2046."

  The Wine Advocate
  "The 2016 Prieure-Lichine has a medium to deep garnet-purple color and a bold, intensely scented nose of warm blackcurrants, black raspberries and mulberries with hints of cedar chest, tobacco, dried herbs and iron ore. Medium-bodied, the palate has bags of class with lovely, vibrant black berries flavors and earthy sparks framed by ripe grainy tannins, finishing long and refreshing."

  Wine Spectator
  " A fleshy, seductive, fruit-driven style, featuring layers of warm fig, boysenberry and blackberry compote gliding along. Lovely black tea and licorice notes gild the finish, with a flash of very fine-grained alder weaving in as well. Shows good latent depth here despite the forward style, so no rush at all. Best from 2022 through 2035. 17,500 cases made."
