Tasting notes
Chasse-Spleen made a good, elegant 1988. Displaying a generous, intense, smoky, blackcurrant bouquet, and chewy, medium-bodied flavors, it has a surprisingly long, spicy, soft finish. Anticipated maturity: Now-2001.

Currant and grilled meat, with hints of sweet tobacco on the nose. Full-bodied, with soft and silky tannins, but a little tart on the finish. Falls a little short. Needs drinking.¿'88/'98 Bordeaux blind retrospective (2008). Drink now. 20,830 cases made.-James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2009

If there’s one Moulis estate you know, it is likely Chasse-Spleen, today owned by the Foubet family. Vines have been planted here since the 16th century, and today it has an impressive 100 hectares to its name.
