Château Prieuré Lichine Margaux 1855 4ième Cru 2011
A little more evolved than the 2009 and 2010, showing touches of leather and tobacco, a great moment to start drinking. This was an early season, and the tannins are angular as I often find with the 2011s right now, but there is a floral edge that brings us to Margaux and an enticing woodsmoke curl alongside white pepper, cigar box and raspberry fruit. Good to go. 32hl/h yield, early harvest from September 12 to 28. Stephane Derenoncourt consultant.
