Plums, sappy flowers, violets, and spicy oak notes all define the 2022 Château Prieuré-Lichine, a ripe, concentrated, medium to full-bodied Margaux. It has solid mid-palate depth, plenty of background oak, and a great finish. While this ripe, textured, wonderfully layered Margaux offers pleasure today, it should have no issues evolving gracefully over the coming 15-20 years. The blend is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot, aged 14 months in barrel.

A blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, the 2022 Prieuré-Lichine reveals a spicy bouquet of dark berries, licorice, spices and oak aromas. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it has a fleshy core of fruit, powdery, youthful tannins and a long, slightly austere finish.
