Tasting notes
Round and ripe nose. Rather brutal tannins. Perfectly respectable but still a little raw. Fresh and surprisingly unevolved. (JR)

This wine has everything in its aromatics and attack, and very little at the back of the mouth - not a good sign for long-term aging. It possesses a dark ruby/purple color, and black currant fruit intermixed with smoke and weediness. Drink it over the next 5-7 years.
Loads of blackberry and currant aromas in this wine. Medium-bodied, medium tannins and a medium finish.--'95/'96 Bordeaux retrospective. Drink now. 25,000 cases made.-James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2007

About the producer
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.
