Alex Lallos, JJ Buckley, April 2011

55% cabernet sauvignon, 40% merlot, and 5% petit verdot. Aged in 15% new oak for 18 months. The nose displays abundant chocolate with roast coffee and blackberry. Flavors of cinnamon and red cherry grace the surprisingly lush mid-palate. Great structure and integration here. Shows power but with superb freshness. A gorgeous wine!

Wow. This shows a wonderful core of intense, ripe fruit and velvety tannins. Loads of berry, chocolate and toasted oak. A joy to taste young.

From a blend of 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, the perfume offers aromas of cassis, earth, flowers and spice. Full bodied with soft tannins, the rich cassis, feminine wine ends with an elegant finish.

Neal Martin's Wine Journal, April 2011

A blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, raised in 50% new oak, the Prieure-Lichine has intense blackberry, burnt toast and sous-bois on the nose, tobacco developing with time. The palate is better than the nose suggests with fine edgy tannins, a little hardness that will soften during elevage, cedar-infused, broody black fruit towards the tannic finish. Very masculine like many Margaux wine, but very well made.

Dense purple, with loads of blueberry and blackberry fruit as well as hints of smoke and subtle charred wood, this wine is expansive, round, generous, lush and multi-dimensional. This beauty can be drunk now or cellared for 15-20 years.

A beautiful example of wine from this estate, which is using well-known consultant Stephane Derenoncourt, finished 2010 at 14.5% natural alcohol, and seems to be one of the sexier, more developed and evolved styles of the vintage.

Densely tannic, although with the fruit weight to sustain the wine. It is packed with ripe flavors, very berry, very firm, finishing with juiciness.

Wine Spectator, March 2011

An amped-up style, with dark, weighty, frankly toasty layers of blackberry, plum and currant fruit giving way to black licorice on the finish. Offers more raw power than finesse and relies on toast more than acidity, but this is a solid example of the style. -J.M.
