Confidences de Prieuré-Lichine 2018 – Margaux

The nose is beautifully built, elegant, gourmand and offers a beautiful ripe fruit, a certain controlled power and a fine complexity. It reveals notes of violet, pulpy blackberryand small notes of small bright blue fruits associated with touches of crushed raspberry as well as fine hints of sichaun pepper, violet, lily, very discreet hints of almond and fresh vanilla pod. The palate is fruity, an aerial side in the approach, elegant, fresh and offers minerality, a beautiful definition, a pulpy/fleshy fruit, a fine creaminess as well as a fine/elegant grain, gourmandize and a beautiful freshness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy blackberry, creamy raspberry and small notes of violet associated with touches of small crushed blue fruits as well as hints of pulpy strawberry, tonka bean, liquorice stick, caramelization, toasted and chocolate. Good length. Tannins are fine, soft, full and on the fruit.
