It has solid mid-palate depth, plenty of background oak, and a great finish. While this ripe, textured, wonderfully layered Margaux offers pleasure today, it should have no issues evolving gracefully over the coming 15-20 years. The blend is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot, aged 14 months in barrel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Jeb Dunnuck, 93 pts. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2022 Prieuré-Lichine is plush, open-knit and quite seductive, as it so often is. Crushed flowers, spice, mint, orange peel and bright, red-toned fruit are all laced together. Silky and medium in body, with lovely finesse, Prieuré-Lichine is quite the charmer. I imagine it will drink well with minimal cellaring.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Vinous, 93 pts. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, the 2022 Prieuré-Lichine reveals a spicy bouquet of dark berries, licorice, spices and oak aromas.
