91-93/100Lisa Perrotti-Brown,The Wine Independent

Prieure-Lichine 2023 is deep garnet-purple in color. Subtle wafts of juicy plums and fresh raspberries slowly emerge from the glass, plus nuances of violets, crushed rocks, and wild thyme. The elegantly styled, medium-bodied palate is soft and refreshing, with a whispery finish. The blend is 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot.

94/100Jane Anson,Inside Bordeaux

Well structured, deliciously fragrant rosebud and tomato leaf on the opening, this treads lightly at first and then builds in structure and and power through the palate, widening to show creamy raspberry and damson fruit, with a saline kick on the finish. An excellent quality estate that is always worth checking in with. 35% new oak for ageing.

The 2023 Prieuré-Lichine has a well-defined and quite detailed bouquet with pretty black cherries, cedar and wilted violet aromas. The palate is medium-bodied, with light tannins matched by a crisp bead of acidity. It doesn't possess a dense or concentrated finish, yet there is balance here, and it will provide very pleasant drinking for 15 to 18 years. This is just a delicious Margaux wine in the making.

91-92/100William Kelley,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Fleshy and demonstrative, the 2023 Prieure-Lichine offers up aromas of sweet berries, plums and smoke, framed by creamy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, rich and textural, with good depth and persistence, it's a strong effort that will offer a broad drinking window in a more modern style.
