Château Chasse Spleen

Nez sur les fruits rouges, avec une très jolie touche florale. Entrée en bouche souple, évolution dans le même style. C’est un très joli vin, fin, sapide et équilibré à la finale légèrement réglissée.

The fruit’s a bit tight and lean this year from this highly regarded château. Needs to open up.

The 2015 Chasse-Spleen is an attractive, mid-weight Moulis that will drink well upon release. Understated and supple, yet also persistent on the palate, the 2015 speaks to balance above all else. Sweet red cherry, mint, licorice and wild flowers add aromatic intrigue on the inviting, nicely layered finish. Tasted three times.

Mid crimson. Not much on the nose at this point. Pretty stodgy tannins and bone dry. Seems quite heavily extracted.

Dunkles Granat, recht satt in der Mitte, rubiner Rand. Florales Bouquet mit Weichselnoten, Rosenpfeffertouch, mittlerer Druck. Im Gaumen leicht für den Jahrgang, die Tannine passen aber zum Körper und so ist das für einmal ein mehr als nur guter Chasse-Spleen. Leider gibt es da aber günstigere Alternativen in der gleichen Klasse. 17/20 2023 – 2040

This is a very solid 2015 with lots of tannin and fruit at the finish. Full body. Long finish. Impressive. One of the best ever from here.

Enticing, with a tangy iron note to the fresh red currant and bitter cherry fruit flavors, followed by a lingering sanguine edge on the pleasantly dusty finish.—J.M.

The 2015 Chasse Spleen has a slightly introverted bouquet: earthy red berry fruit and dried herbs, perhaps conservative in the scheme of things. The palate is medium-bodied with a touch of chewiness on the entry, good body though needing more finesse and delineation to develop through its élevage. A stocky and somewhat saline Chasse Spleen that needs 3-4 years in bottle. Drink 2019-2032
