Wine Advocate#171 (6/2007) Rating: 90 points Drink: 2007-2022
A sleeper of the vintage, the deep ruby/purple-tinged 2004 Prieure-Lichine is all about finesse and flavor intensity. Not a blockbuster, but rather a wine of sensual appeal, it offers superb aromatics of cherry liqueur, underbrush, cedar, and spring flowers. Silky and soft, with medium body, beautiful fruit, and a depth that builds incrementally, this consumer-friendly Margaux can be enjoyed over the next 12-15 years. This defines charm. -Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (3/31/2007) Score: 87
Aromas of berries, tobacco and light earth. Medium-bodied, with velvety tannins and a medium finish. Lacks a bit of a center palate. Disappointing after the outstanding 2003. Best after 2010. 15,000 cases made. –JS
Decanter Rating:
Fine classy nose. Delicious claret and fine expression of the vintage. Elegant, perfumed with pure fruit. Extremely attractive. Drink 2013-23. |
