Score 79/100 · Drink 2000-2005, Robert Parker, Apr 2000
A picnic-styled claret, this light ruby-colored 1997 exhibits some candied black cherry and currant flavors, little concentration or length, and a watery finish. Drink it over the next 2-5 years.

About the producer

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.
