Description
Château Prieure-Lichine, Fourth-Growth Margaux
The deep crimson core holds serious weight that leads out to a rim flecked with garnet and ruby red. What the ’15 reveals on the nose is indicative of only the finest Bordeaux: a sense of regal fruit and refinement with underlying earth. Ripe blackberry, currant, black plum, black cherry liqueur, and molasses roll off the initial nose. Following, are finessed, terroir-driven notes of black truffle, red tobacco, crushed gravel, and cedar. Various baking spices along with ground coffee, raw vanilla, and cedar further complement the nose. This is an undoubtedly classic Margaux with a degree of freshness and depth that makes for an incredibly savvy collection pickup for discerning Bordeaux afficianados.
