Beautiful blueberry, black raspberry and cassis fruit as well as incense and graphite jump from the glass of this inky ruby/purple-colored wine. Ripe, medium to full-bodied, dense and rich, this is one of the stars of Moulis in 2009. Given its low acidity but abundant tannin, I suspect it could close down in a few years and last two decades. Score: 90 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 01 March 2012 |

The 2009 is the finest Chasse Spleen since the 1989. Its deep purple color is accompanied by notes of graphite, black currants, sweet spice, and a hint of Chinese black tea. Full-bodied and opulent with well-integrated acidity, tannin, wood, and alcohol, it is a lush beauty to enjoy over the next 20+ years. (Tasted two times.) Score: 90 - 92 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2010-30 01 April 2010 |

Shows pretty plum and spice character, with full body, velvety tannins and a dried lemon and subtle fruit aftertaste. Rich and structured. Try in 2016. Score: 92 James Suckling, - Maturity: 2016+ 15 February 2012 |

Subtle aromas of currant, spices and milk chocolate follow through to a full body, with a solid and polished core of tannins and a silky-textured finish Score: 90 - 93 James Suckling, Wine Spectator 31 March 2010 |

Light, delicate Margaux-like scent. Fragrant and easy. A little malted milk tablet on the finish. Nice, gentle, lots of pleasure even if little drama. Just slight astringency on the finish. Score: 16 - 17 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2016-2026 31 March 2010 |

Tasted at Vintex. This Chasse-Spleen has a lovely, well defined bouquet with black berry, plum, wild hedgerow and a touch of tobacco. The palate is dense, sinewy with firm tannins, tangible backbone and structure, with a dense, tannic finish that dominates the fruit at the moment. It will be intriguing to see how this develops because that finish is slightly metallic and hard. Tasted March 2010. Score: 84 - 86 Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 29 March 2010 |
