Ordered as the value option on a highly marked-up fancy London club wine list. Very much surprised to the upside- fabulously elegant and seemingly at peak, with no hint of old age in colour or taste . Definitely outperformed expectations of the vintage, the appellation and the classification.

This was surprisingly good. Lovely nose here with red fruit, earthy elements pencil shavings. Clearly punching above its weight in terms of vintage and classification. Well done team Chasse Spleen.

Mature nose of wet leaves, forest floor with some dark fruits in the background. Very similar on the palate as well, mature but the fruit is still there. Tannins resolved. Drinking very well with little upside in my opinion.

Very energetic with lively tannins, firm structure and fuller body. Fruits are evident, secondary aromas are present as well. This wine will be drinking well at least one decade more. At its very peak now.
