2/14/2024 - ItsNotMe wrote: NRGood, but not crazy good tonight. . Tannins prominent upon opening, but faded with 2 hour decant. Dark fruit I’d like to see a bit more structure, but still enjoyable. |

1/13/2024 - ItsNotMe wrote: NRWe’ve been on a bad run lately. Lots of corked and off bottles. The streak continues, but . . . this one was different. The wine was corked, but if you could get past the odd-putting nose, it was good. Slight efervescense, some peach. I think this will be a good wine. Just hope the “off bottle” streak is coming to an end soon. |

2015 Château Prieuré-LichineMargaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/12/2024 - ItsNotMe wrote: NRDecanted 2 hours. Very dry and lacking fruit except some sour cherry near the end of the bottle. Nothing on the nose. Hot. Green stems. Tannins did not dissipate at all with decanting. Dead bottle? I realize this is young, but I don’t expect a lot of improvement unless this is an off bottle. Do you find this review helpful?

1/7/2024 - ItsNotMe wrote: flawedUgh. Pulled this bottle for wine club. Decanted for about an hour and tasted at that time. My wife and I saw good things coming. I was pleased with our choice. Fast forward. This was our first wine with dinner. Our most knowledgeable member tasted and looked at me. I tasted and knew we had a problem. Corked. Oh well, it comes with the territory. I'll re-tasted after decanting before taking a bottle to share. |

1/5/2024 - ItsNotMe wrote: NRLots of bottle variation so far. Of six bottles consumed, this is the second one showing dark yellow color. And although the wine is ok, it's not as crisp as the three "good" bottles. I've had several vintages of this wine, and it's always been of consistent quality. Let's see how the others work out. |

4/1/2023 - ItsNotMe wrote: NRHighly perfumed and pleasant on the nose. There are lots of tannins in this one, but they dissipate with air in the glass. Over time the tannins return. Vibrant, intense red fruit. This needs more time. I'll follow others' notes and likely open my next bottle in 5 years. |

3/22/2023 - ItsNotMe wrote: NRExcellent as always. I chilled a bit much, bit this really came out as it warmed to the right temp. Gooseberry (as always, regardless of vintage), some citrus. Perhaps less “grassy” than previous vintages. One of my all-time favorites. |

2/18/2023 - ItsNotMe wrote: NRDecanted 2 hours. I agree with Fred and Lee. Light bodied CdP. Cherry, perhaps because it was served with a cherry jelly reduction on venison chops. Also a small elk medallion. What a wonderful dinner, and a very good pairing. We’re finishing the bottle and wish we had another glass. |
