4th Growth
Smartly constructed, with a slow unrolling of the blackberry fruits, sweet raspberry and strawberry puree, sage and white pepper spice, a touch of leafiness through the mid palate but fragrant and charming. Harvest 26 September to 9 October. 35% new oak. Upscore potential in bottle. 90 Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux.
The 2024 Prieuré-Lichine is an attractive wine, but it does show the lighter side of the year, accented by the fact that Prieuré-Lichine is never a big wine. Dark red/black fruit, mocha, liquorice and spice all meld together in the glass, with good mid-palate pliancy and promising balance. 2029-2039. 90-92 Antonio Galloni, VInous.
