Score 80/100 · Drink 1984, Robert Parker, Jan 1998
Prieure tastes particularly light in this vintage. Nevertheless, the wine is medium bodied with soft, pleasant flavors. However, it finishes short. Anticipated maturity: Now-probably in serious decline. Last tasted, 6/84.

About the producer

Prieure Lichine
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.
