Chateau Prieure Lichine 2022

James Suckling: "Such beautiful tannins here that are refined and beautiful and bring you deep into the medium to full body. Currants and berries. Refined."

Falstaff: "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Süßes Bukett, reife Waldbeeren und Kirschen, feine Gewürznuancen, kandierte Orangenzesten. Komplex, saftig und frisch, feiner Schokotouch, mineralisch und anhaftend, gute Länge, sicheres Entwicklungspotenzial."

The Wine Cellar Insider: "Flowers, blackberries, currants, espresso, and plums with a touch of cocoa form the nose. On the palate, the wine is loaded with lusciously-textured, ripe, polished fruits. There is a solid depth of flavor, good energy, and layers of black and red fruits on the mid-palate and in the creamy, fruit-packed finish. Drink from 2027-2055."

Vinum: "Verführerisch fruchtige Aromatik, blumige Akzente; Klassetannin, grosse, fruchtige Länge: schafft auch in diesem Jahr das Kunststück, mit Eleganz und Liebreiz, Fruchtigkeit und Frische zu glänzen, nicht mit Konzentration."

Lisa Perrotti-Brown: „The 2022 Prieure-Lichine is deep garnet-purple in color. It tumbles out with eager-to-please scents of juicy blackcurrant, Morello cherries, and black raspberries, followed by hints of cedar, violets, and black truffles. The medium to full-bodied palate is densely packed with juicy black fruit and floral accents, supported by beautifully ripe, fine-grained tannins and a refreshing backbone, finishing long and fragrant. This is a very impressive showing for Prieure-Lichine."
