Château Prieuré-Lichine 2025

Inky blue fruit tones with cola and liquorice. Crisp and grippy with a salty edge to the tannins that takes hold. Very faithful to the terror, not at all ‘hot’, this is cool and fresh with a minerality that comes across so clearly. It’s lightly presented in terms of texture but still you get depth of fruit and a long finish. But still ripe. Chalky on the finish. Will be nice after ageing. Drinking window: 2027-2039.
