2010 Chateau Prieure-Lichine Margaux
95 Points - Decanter (panel tasting): Beautifully expressed, fragrant Cabernet fruit. Such purity, depth and elegance on the nose that the palate can only follow, and yet there is a charmingly lifted crunchy fruit as well, and then of course the finely grained tannins. A very great wine.
94 Points - James Suckling: Aromas of blueberries and blackberries with hints of sliced mushroom. Full and round with chewy tannins. Give this four or five years to soften. Tight and structured.
93 Points - Wine Enthusiast: 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. This has definite aging potential.
