Tasting notes
Dark ruby/purple-colored, with aromas of spice, black currants, vanillin, and berries, this medium-bodied wine reveals very good to excellent depth, fine overall balance, ripe tannin, and not a great deal of acidity. It should drink well for 8-10 years. (No tasting note was provided in Issue 128. We have instead included the text of the tasting note from Issue 116)

Elegant and fruity, with currant, berry and violet character. Medium-bodied, with light tannins and a fresh finish. Drink now.-James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2000

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.
