2024, Château Prieuré Lichine, MARGAUXLast year EP $52. 00 Bordeaux Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot. 4th Growth Smartly constructed, with a slow unrolling of the blackberry fruits, sweet raspberry and strawberry puree, sage and white pepper spice, a touch of leafiness through the mid palate but fragrant and charming. Harvest 26 September to 9 October. 35% new oak. Upscore potential in bottle. 90 Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux. The 2024 Prieur Lichine is an attractive wine,

with a beautiful velvety quality

cool blue fruits
