The tannins here make their presence felt, but with the pliability and depth of fruit to back them up. Clearly a wine that is going to age well and develop gracefully, with plum and damson fruits, clear oak influence but well crafted, this feels primary and rippling with potential, and really stood out in the Margaux appellation horizontal tasting. This was the first year with the new cellars completed at Prieuré.

The 2014 Prieuré-Lichine is just as impressive from bottle as it was from barrel. Silky, perfumed and gracious on the palate, the wine exudes class. Sweet floral and spice notes meld into a core of red stone fruit, and silky tannins and vivid flavors lead into a creamy and inviting finish. I would prefer to cellar the 2014 for at least a few years, but it is quite beautiful and polished even at this early stage. The blend is 65 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 30 % Merlot and 5 % Petit Verdot. This is a very strong showing from Prieuré-Lichine and consulting winemakers Stéphane Derenoncourt and Julien Lavenu. Tasted two times.
