* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Under new ownership, Prieuré-Lichine continues its rapid quality improvement. The wine is concentrated, with dark tannins and brooding fruit, dominated by new wood. It is rich, but also structured for a steady development over 10-15 years.

92-94 Barrel sample. Spice and ripe fruits are the main characters of this wine, which shows the results of the considerable investment that has gone into this estate. Impressive and modern in style, but still keeping its harmony.

Big, rounded wine that brings together ripe fruits and taut tannins. It is solid, chunky, spiced and balanced. Black fruits finish an impressive wine for the vintage.

90-92 Barrel sample. A perfumed wine, floral and flowery. The spices come from wood tannins that are very present. But there are also friendly berry fruits, plum skins and final acidity.

91–93 The wine is packed with wood, but there is also firm, solid dense fruit, which pushes it to a higher level. There is great structure here.

Alexis Lichine’s old château has been revolutionized in the last decade, producing wines with a diamond-like luster, polished with new wood, squeezed black currant juice fruit flavors and ripe tannins. A shiny, gleaming wine.

92-94 Barrel sample. A shiny, ripe and fresh wine, its tannins neatly merged into the blackcurrant fruits. Delicious and fresh, but also sweet.

While the latter years of Lichine family ownership saw a decline in the quality of this estate, new owners have brought about a remarkable renaissance. This 2001 is rich and confident, with layers of wood that balance well with blackberry and currant jelly fruits. This is developing into a serious, impressive wine.

91-93 Densely tannic, although with the fruit weight to sustain the wine. It is packed with ripe flavors, very berry, very firm, finishing with juiciness.

With smoky new wood aromas and delicate fruit flavors, this wine hasn’t quite come together. The fruit is light, but the wood structure isn’t. Red berry fruits do show, but they are easily lost in the spice and heavy toast.
