Love the freshness and finesse with medium body, currants and lemon grass. Fluid and delicate. Bright acidity. Gentle old wine.

A typical 1975, tough, hard, and backward, the Prieure has a leathery, ripe fragrance. Full bodied and astringent with hard, tannic flavors, this wine is just beginning to show signs of shedding its tannins and revealing some ripe, fleshy fruit. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 11/84.

About the producer

After 50 years under the direction of the Lichine family, this leading Margaux estate entered a new chapter in 1999 when négociant Ballande took the reins, continuing the property’s previous upward trajectory.
