Cheers Nils My general impression is that their vineyard sites ooze excellence, their actual wines less so. I've had very limited experiences, but an '85 Musigny last week didn't especially impress. And '85 Musigny should be out of the ballpark.

No, Prieur-Lichine was a 4th growth castle bought by the (in)famous Alex Lichine, who added his name to the original - BTW, I think that should be Prieuré ... Cheers Nils

The newer wines tend to follow the trend in Burgundy of riper richer wines with a luxury feel and deep flavor profile. More blackcherry and cassis than bing cherry and earth.

Show-off. My umlaut machine is broken. No worries, Ed. I once used to figure on the then almost-Net of COmpuserve under the monniker of Umlaut Lymebranch "who hath come to put doubledots over all your a's and o's wherat there shall be much complaining and gnashing of teeth". Cheers Nils
