Crisp, elegant, mineral, not very full bodied. Nice.

Attractive nose of cassis, dark fruit, vanilla. On the palate nice opulent fruit, minerality, long finish.

Annual Grand Cru Tasting (Wijnhandel De Gouden Leeuw, Voorschoten, NL): A vintage that really becomes Chasse-Spleen, the earthiness is offset by ripe, sweet fruit, lovely balance, an attractive wine.

Consistent with my previous note; a beautiful and classical Chasse Spleen with luxurious oak and round tannin. Unfortunately I could not compare it with Poujeaux this time. But be sure, this is a beautiful Bordeaux, probably entering early maturity around 2019 and full maturity around 2023. Will definitely drink nicely until at least 2028. Good qpr!

Another K&L Bordeaux Saturday (K&L Wines, San Francisco): Medium color. Robust, sweaty, tannic nose. Sturdy flavors dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon. Dense and simple but some cocoa shows. Strong acids. Very young and hard for me to see my way through the bound up structure. Reminds me of some St. Estephe in its tough, blockish nature.

Mis en carage environ 3:00 heures.
Belle couleur rubis foncé.
Le nez est d'abord dominé par des notes de cerises fumées, de bois & de cacao. Avec le temps, les épices sont plus notables (l'anis entre autre). Plus la soirée avance, plus il semble se développer un fraîcheur (cédre). Un beau nez Bordelais comme je les apprécie. C'est puissant mais avec une certaine élégance.
En bouche l'attaque est puissante. Les tannins sont bien présents. Le tout reste longtemps en bouche. Les notes de cerises dominent. Avec le temps il semble se développer une touche épicée/anisée. L'aciditée est vive mais apporte un équilibre à la masse.
En résumé, un beau Bordeaux à mon avis. C'est jeune & en un bloc, mais j'apprécie la "fougue" que peut apporté un vin fraîchement débarqué sur les tablettes.
Salutations

Dark ruby/violet color with a deep, focused nose of sweet blueberries, rose petals and bright cherry - so enticing that it's hard to keep yourself from taking an immediate sip. The palate is full and intense with flavors of ripe dark berry, vanilla, nutmeg, smoke, and a hint of eucalyptus. Finishes divinely with sweet, caressing tannins. This is the best Chasse-Spleen since the 2005 vintage, only this is riper in fruit and more approachable at a younger age. Drink now with 30 mins of decanting until 2023.

Deeply coloured. Primary and quite dense black-fruited nose, with hints of coffee and earth. The density carries through to the taste, which also has good grip and length. The next bottle will have to wait a few years.

(tasted blind) Ruby with considerable tears. Pronounced aromas of cedar, black fruit, spice, opening touches of sherbet, jooby red fruit - cherry, vanilla, sweet spice. In the mouth the move is to again jammy fruit but now more black based, surprisingly light in the mouth, quite fresh, touches of savoury leather and bitterness on the finish. A bit simple. Meh

Mørk rød. Svært tiltrekkende nese av mørke bær, vanilje og gummi, men litt lukket initielt. Svært rik i smak. Rund og fyldig. Perfekte tanniner. Ikke fatpreget. Kjempelang og svært stødig ettersmak. Smak av anis/lakris som henger lenge. Åpner seg raskt etter 30 min i glasset. Nesen blir betydelig rikere av de nevnte dufter, men med noe mer modent preg.

Good. Clearly very young, but shaping up to be a fine drinker. It has all you would expect of Spleen - the pencil, the aroma and so on. It needs at least five more years, and maybe eight or ten. But it's a very good wine and I'm pleased to have three cases of it in my cellar.

8/19/2013 - La Cave d'Argent Likes this wine: 91 points

This opaque crimson blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot was Vinturi-decanted and serially tasted over the ensuing several hours. The nose shows aromas of black and red currants, superimposed on an earthy/herbal canvas. Fresh, medium-to-full-bodied and luscious on the palate, it shows beautiful purity of fruit in a frame of medium-weight, fine-grained tannins. Despite being listed as 14%, the alcohol is seamless. Solid in the middle and long in the finish, it is an excellent Chasse-Spleen which reflects the beauty of the vintage. No doubt that it will improve with time in the cellar, but it is certainly enjoyable now. Drink now-2020.

The wine is still reticent, but already showing what it has in store for the future. In the bouquet good cassis, some licorice and well dosed oak. On the palate a lot of cassis, beautiful oak which is not fully integrated yet, but that will be just ok with some more time in the bottle, dark chocolate. beautiful acidity and a slight touch of pleasant sweetness. Fine bitterness. At the moment I score the wine 91, but with more cellar time it will almost definitely go up 1 or 2 points. Wait until 2017 at least.

Drank in the Alps
It is hard to go wrong with an '09 and this again proves the point. Lovely velvet richness which is approachable now.

Encore un autre test pour ce millésime question de voir comment ça augure.
Beau nez sur le chocolat, les fruits rouges et un peu d`élevage.
En bouche, ample et assez corsé. Des mures et du cèdre avec un peu de boisé. Assez long!

Demi-bouteille. Nez assez intense, très marqué par l'élevage avec ses notes de vanille. Bouche souple, en demi-corps qui confine rapidement à l'ennui par son côté monolithique.Les fruits noirs peinent à émerger et si les tanins sont fins et bien intégrés, le boisé est écrasant et manque de classe. Très impersonnel à ce stade. Un fabuleux 1995 bu récemment laisse espérer que le vin puisse gagner en complexité avec le temps.

Felt like trying one again and it was really nice again. Very youthful but with some airtime it is still open for business. Consistent with previous notes. Good future.

Another really enjoyable 2009. Definitely a good drink at the price. The nose is black currant, violets, crayon, and a hint nutty or meaty. The flavor is dark red fruit, anise, pencil lead, play-doh, a hint of green pepper and chocolate. The finish reveals oaky notes of vanilla and caramel. Tannins are medium- overall nicely balanced, and drinkable now, but will certainly age longer.

Decanted for 2 hours. Dark fruit, liquorice, cedar, graphite and violets on the nose. A bit of smoky oak. On the palate ripe fruit, fresh, nicely balanced, good grip - the tannins are slightly drying but round and well integrated. Quite savoury. Decent finish. Approachable, but will improve. Good QPR. 89-90+

Rich fruit, earth and spices, supple and complete, solid structure of ripe tannins and acidity sheathed in flesh, drinking very well already but should age well too. It is a vintage that suits Chasse-Spleen like a glove. At restaurant De Lage Vuursche, NL.

Often in a really good Bordeaux vintage like 2009, Cru Bourgeois such as Chase Spleen perform at an unexpectedly high level. Unfortunately, it is not true for this 2009. It is a fairly ordinary Chasse Spleen. Could it be shut down? Time will tell. I'll postpone a formal note for the next bottle I try in a couple of years.

All around nice wine. Maybe at a quite phase because it seemed to have more "wow" 2 years ago. Will let the other bottles age more. Nice mouth feel, nice nose great qpr.

Quite impressive again. Expressive ripe fruit on the nose, oaky, spicy, smoky. On the palate a bit sharp, drying, good fruit, medium length. Still a bit firm. 88-89(+)
