extremely deep color, ruby to purple rim. on the nose, earthy and slighty rustic classic bordeaux aromas of cab and merlot. on the palate high acids, moderate midpalate depth, tannins are integrating and present, moderate alcohol. wine has balance, good length, very good intensity. there is finesse, a really fine tecture, excellent expression of place. this bottle felt a bit more evolved than the last one... certainly in the drinking window with a couple hours in the decanter. very nice wine.

Together with Ch.Chasse Spleen the best known estate from the Moulis appellation in the Middle-Médoc. A deep Bordeaux-red color with still a purple hue. Smell and taste are dominated by the Cabernet Sauvignon (60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot) with blackberry and cassis aromas and still a tiny bit of new oak, ripe tannins, adequate acidity and a medium long finish. This is a nice classic left bank Bordeaux which (to my taste) is already enjoyable now but will probably improve with some years of cellaring. Certainly a good QPR at 30€ (in 2019).

Bon vin, équilibré mais encore peu de profondeur, probablement ouverte trop tôt.
