JAMES SUCKLING: "This is really something with pure blackberry and blueberry character. Chewy yet ultra fine tannins. It goes on and on. Could challenge the great 2016."

ROBERT PARKER - THE WINE ADVOCATE: "Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2020 Prieure-Lichine offers up notes of fresh redcurrants, blackcurrant pastilles, boysenberries and dried Provence herbs, plus wafts of tobacco leaf and pencil shavings. Medium-bodied, the palate delivers a great intensity of pure black and red fruit flavors, framed by grainy tannins and a lively backbone, finishing long with a refreshing herbal lift." - Lisa Perrotti-Brown

FALSTAFF: "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Nuancen von Cassis und Lakritze, schwarze Kirschen klingen an, feine Edelholzwürze, tabakiger Touch. Komplex, dunkle Beeren, etwas Nougat, straffe Tannine, mineralischer Abgang, feine salzige Nuancen, gute Länge, verfügt über Entwicklungspotenzial." - Peter Moser
