Chateau Prieuré-Lichine 2014 sunburry one of the original ‘Blockers’The 2014 Prieur Lichine is just as impressive from bottle as it was from barrel. Silky, perfumed, and gracious on the palate, the wine exudes class. Sweet floral and spice notes meld into a core of red stone fruit, and silky tannins and vivid flavours lead into a creamy and inviting finish. Blend: 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot
