Score 86/100 · Drink 1991, Robert Parker, Jan 1998
One of the best efforts from Prieure-Lichine, the 1978 is fully mature and exhibits a ripe, rather rich, fruity, oaky bouquet, with meaty and leathery flavors, good concentration, melted tannins, and a long, satisfying finish. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 6/91.

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.
