Ruby in color with a wide brick rim.
Beautiful nose of black currants, blackberries, blueberries, dried figs, raisins, light oak, licorice, light tobacco, light earth, chocolates, eucalyptus, light vegetables, herbs, wildflowers, cola and black pepper.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and very fruity on the palate with blackberries, black plums, figs, dried fruits, coffee, light cedar, tobacco, chocolates, cola, vanilla, licorice, spices, light earth and peppercorn.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This gorgeous 18 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley is drinking beautifully now.
This is a great surprise, as the cork totally crumbled, and I expected the worst, but it really delivered.
Shows nice balance, and great complexity with a velvety mouthfeel.
Easy drinking and good right out of the bottle. As it opens up, tannins come in (45 minutes), and make it more structured and interesting.
A great sipping wine to have all by itself and talk about. The nose is just gorgeous.
14.8% alcohol by volume.
95 points.

2016 vintage. A blend of Merlot (76%), Cabernet Franc (4%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (20%). Owned by the Ballande family (also Prieuré-Lichine and Villa Bel Air). Amazing value! — 2 years ago
Now is a peak. Feel dry. Prieure Lichine 17@10340, Pieroth, 241115 — 9 days ago
Well balanced, strawberry, melon, stone fruit and cream. Quite alcoholic, but with a lovely finish. Favourite rose. — 4 months ago
Rich mouthfeel and I would say atypical for a sauvignon blanc. As such, it definitely fits in my wheelhouse. — 9 months ago
