Prieure Lichine 2016 (750ML)
Imagine a vintage that allows each grape to reach its full potential, resulting in a wine of exceptional depth and character. That's the 2016 Prieure Lichine. This enticingly velvety wine boasts a beautiful depth of color and balanced structure. The slightly higher acidity compared to the 2015 vintage hints at a promising aging potential. This 2016 joins the 2014 and 2015 vintages at Prieure Lichine, creating a trilogy reminiscent of the legendary 1988-1990 vintages. Each bottle expresses its unique terroir and vintage, offering a spectrum of flavors to explore. The 2016 itself is a wine of finesse, generosity, suppleness, and pure charm – a true Margaux gem.

Antonio Galloni Notes
96 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media: "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! Tasted two times." 1/19

Decanter Notes
95 Points, Jane Anson, Decanter: "Rich and velvety red in colour with deep violet reflections, the brushed velvet appearance carries over to the texture on the palate. A good lineup of fruit flavours are joined by sweet softness through the mid-palate that widens things out rather than dips, and there's a slow build to the finish. Matured in 50% new oak. 2016 yielded 43hl/ha. Drinking Window 2026 - 2045." 10/18
