2018 Château Prieuré-Lichine, Margaux 4. Cru

A red Bordeaux from Margaux, made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and a touch of Petit Verdot. The grapes are hand-harvested from the estate's own vineyards, fermented in temperature-controlled steel tanks and aged for 12 to 16 months in French oak barrels, half of them new. The aroma shows blackcurrant, violet, cedar and tobacco. The palate brings dark berries, spice, graphite and toasted oak. The mouthfeel is full and elegant, with silky tannins and a long finish.
