Château Prieuré-Lichine Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2005

Jay Kline

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2005 pours a garnet color with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of cassis, black plum, capsicum, tobacco, horse blanket, gravelly earth, and a mix of cool and warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and elegant. Drink now through 2055.

Super 4th.

Continuing with the May Cabernet tasting. CS 55/Merlot 40/Petit Verdot 5. An aristocratic sexy nose of blue fruits and blackberry with violet and tobacco. A gorgeous seductive palate. Medium weight. A joy to drink and at its peak.

Perfect with Filet. Balanced but made for the long haul. Taut tannins and earthy fruit combine for long, satisfying finish.

So damn good love this wine! Out of magnum drink now but can go 20 more years without blinking.

Jade Hallett

Bright fruit coming through. Mixed with tobacco, violets, leather and spice. Great length. Showing well

Margaux classique un peu moins valable que Giscours

This wine is drinking perfectly right now. Had it side by side with a 2005 Gazin and the Lichine was much better.
