Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (91)

Performing much better from bottle than barrel, this is a super effort from Prieuré Lichine. This inky purple-colored wine displays beautiful floral-infused blueberry and blackberry fruit as well as cassis. It is medium to full-bodied, stunningly pure, gorgeously textured, and quite long and impressive. This is a top success in the vintage, capable of lasting 20 or more years.

James Suckling (92)

A wine with blackberry, spice and licorice character. Medium to full body, firm tannins and a fruity finish. Subtle and fine. Shows class. Lovely tannins.

Jancis Robinson (16.50)

Deep glowing crimson. A bit stewed on the nose but there is some silky fruit there on the palate, as well as some relatively fine tannin and quite a bit of acidity. Grainy texture.

Falstaff (91)

Dark ruby garnet, violet reflections, delicate edge brightening, black berries, a hint of cassis and liquorice, fine ethereal nuances, a hint of precious wood spice. Juicy cherry fruit, red berry texture, subtle fruit sweetness, somewhat broad on the finish, delicate nougat aftertaste.

Wine Enthusiast (91)

Very structured and dark, this is a wine for the long haul. It is concentrated and balanced, still very young and only just hinting at the black fruits that show the rich potential of this wine.
