The 2025 Prieuré-Lichine is terrific. I won't be surprised if it turns out even better than this note suggests. Floral overtones weave through a core of dark red/purplish fruit, all framed by silky tannins. This is classic Prieuré-Lichine, with perhaps a bit more fruit density than most years. A pretty appealing combination in my book. 04/2026

The 2025 Prieuré-Lichine has a well-defined nose, though it does not quite have the amplitude of some of the over-performing Margaux barrel samples in this vintage. It just needs a bit more ambition. The palate is medium-bodied with a graphite-tinged entry. Edgy tannins, fine depth, structured more than recent vintages and demonstrating more persistence. Good potential—hopefully the aromatics will muster a bit more complexity because the palate deserves it. 05/2026

The 2025 Prieuré-Lichine reveals a vibrant bouquet of dark wild berries, mulberries, cassis and floral notes. Medium- to full-bodied, fleshy and dense, it’s structured and concentrated, built around a solid tannic chassis that carries through to a long, elegantly spicy finish. Less immediately charming and enveloping than usual, it instead emphasizes depth and power. 04/2026

Cassis, liquid violets, graphite, and spicy wood all shine on the nose of the 2025 Château Prieuré-Lichine, and it's medium to full-bodied on the palate, with a concentrated, nicely balanced mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and a great finish. It plays in the focused, seemingly fresher style of the vintage yet shows the riper side of Margaux while still being beautifully balanced and textured. 05/2026

Couleur noire. Nez intense, fruité et subtil. Très aromatique et parfumé dès l'entrée en bouche, avec un corps fondant et un gras fin qui circule sans cesse sur le palais, le vin s'avale tout seul, construit sur l'élégance et la nuance du tanin dans une année parfois excessive. Un magnifique rendu pour des IPT aussi élevés. Ce résultat confirme la hausse pas à pas de cette propriété. Assemblage : 60 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 35 % Merlot, 5 % Petit Verdot. Degré d’alcool : 13° - pH : 3,53 – IPT : 80. Rendement ; 28 hl/ha. 04/2026

Well composed, textural and velvety, with currants, herbs and baking spices on the nose. Medium-bodied with fine tannins. Refined texture with substance and harmony. Persistent, focused finish. 04/2026
