Tasting note: The 1989 Prieure-Lichine is one of the richest and fullest wines this property has made. Substantial in size, with gobs of ripe currant fruit, full body, soft, plentiful tannins, and a heady alcohol degree, this velvety wine should prove charming in its youth, but easily last for 15 or more years. (88pts. Robert Parker)

Tasted: Feb. 1993
Score: 88
Drink: 1993-2005

Tasting note: Ready for drinking and starting to dry out a bit from the big tannic structure. Medium-ruby color, dusty berry and tobacco aromas. Medium-bodied, with velvety tannins and a medium, slightly dry finish. (86pts. JS, Wine Spectator)
