Chateau Prieure-Lichine Margaux 2010

REVIEWS 94 James Suckling Aromas of blueberries and blackberries with hints of sliced mushroom. Full and round with chewy tannins.  93 points Decanter While showing off cassis and blackberry fruit, this bottle did not show a wine as well structured or as long as one would have hoped from a 2010. But I like its smooth tannin and balance, with rather primary expressions of fruit combined with hints of cigar box on the palate. 93 Wine Enthusiast The former home of Alexis Lichine is now owned by a Pacific-based French mining company. The low yields of the 2010 (the vineyard was hit by hail) have produced a smooth and rich style of wine, which is weighty while also showing fine acidity on the finish. This has definite aging potential.  92 Wine Advocate Dense purple, with loads of blueberry and blackberry fruit as well as hints of smoke and subtle charred wood, this wine is expansive, round, generous, lush and multi-dimensional. This beauty can be drunk now or cellared for 15-20 y
