2019 Chateau Prieure Lichine Margaux Petite Sirah That's because neither Pinot Noir

That's because neither Pinot Noir -- nor Nebbiolo -- need dark color for the wine to have depth of flavor and complexity

Real energy here

It's one of my early favorites in this vintage

barrel-aged style that offers silken texture

and it has a rocking core of sweet fruit balanced by ripe tannin's and nicely integrated acidity

Creamy, layered and resonant in the glass, the 2019 hits all the right notes. Sweet red cherry plum, lavender, rose petal, spice, mint and blood orange all build effortlessly. Over the last handful of years Prieur Lichine has been the single most under the radar wine in Margaux. The 2019 is another fine edition. Class, polish and sensuality make Prieur Lichine absolutely irresistible." Antonio
