Château Prieuré-Lichine is a 500-year old Bordeaux estate, in the Margaux appellation. Their Fourth Growth Grand Cru Classé wines have earned critical acclaim and are arguably some of the most outstanding value wines on the Left Bank of Bordeaux. The 2015 Prieuré-Lichine is a Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. It is a gorgeous, elegant wine. Cabernet aromatics provide notes of fresh redcurrants, black currants, and dried herbs, plus wafts of cedar and pencil shavings. Medium-bodied, the palate delivers a great intensity of pure black and red fruit flavors framed by firm tannins and a lively backbone of acidity. It finishes with a persistent and refreshing herbal lift.
