Professional reviews

Robert Parker (89)

Deep garnet colored, the 2010 Prieure-Lichine opens with notes of sweaty leather, tobacco and underbrush over a core of warm red and black currants and baked plums plus a waft of bay leaves. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is refreshing and chewy with plenty of earthy/savory layers and an herbal finish.

Winespectator (91)

Takes a dense, slightly chunky approach, with bittersweet cocoa and espresso up front followed by a core of dark currant, plum sauce and anise. Features charcoal-laden grip on the finish, showing ample stuffing and polished fruit. Should settle in once the modern toast treatment gets soaked up.

James Suckling (94)

Black truffle and dark berries. Full body, round and fresh tannins and fresh acidity give this lift and intensity.

Wine Enthusiast (93)

The former home of Alexis Lichine is now owned by a Pacific-based French mining company. The low yields of the 2010 (the vineyard was hit by hail) have produced a smooth and rich style of wine, which is weighty while also showing fine acidity on the finish.
