Château Prieuré-Lichine is a 4th Cru Classé from 1855 and produces a wine that is very Margaux at heart. Generally quite fine and elegant, it can be kept for up to 30 years in its best years. James Suckling (94) / Figaro Vin (17.5)

Dense, dark garnet color, drawing on purple in its youth.
Aroma
For the Margaux appellation, we find black fruits, such as blackcurrant or blackcurrant, sometimes cooked, and an empyreumatic that gives off aromas of roasted coffee or licorice.
