Tout est fondu, c’est équilibré, rien à redire si ce n’est un petit manque de complexité. J’ai adoré la finesse — 6 years ago
Vintage 2003 - Chasse Spleen from this hot year has developed in to a ‘Grand Seigneur’. A Noble wine with a classic complex smell: dark fruits, plums, a hint of ‘poop’ stable, cedar. Beautiful developed taste (à Point) with chocolate, good acidity. Besides this the wine still has a certain austerity, which I like. #chassespleen #moulis #bordeaux — 7 years ago
