2020 Chateau Chasse Spleen - Cru Bourgeois Moulis 1,5 l - Magnum

Decanter.com – 91 pts – GH: *Juicy and lively, this has gentle and soft fruity acidity on the palate - a drive of bright strawberries and raspberries with an appealing chalkiness. Overall clear and crisp with fine but firm tannins giving some tightness still with clear austerity. Well worked and structured but give it more time.* - 02/2023

JancisRobinson.com – 16/20pts – JH: *49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot, 6.5% Petit Verdot, 2.5% Cabernet Franc. Deep cherry red. Subtle aroma of lead pencils, dark-fruited and attractively leafy. More fragrant with air. Some oak sweetness on the palate balances the herbaceous notes, though they are quite marked on the finish. Extremely gentle tannins and lots of freshness.* - 11/2022

Vinous.com – 90 pts – AG: *The 2020 Chasse-Spleen is packed with dark fruit, chocolate, dried herbs, spice, leather and tobacco. Pliant and racy, with terrific depth and fine balance, Chasse-Spleen has much to offer in an immediate, juicy style that is quite appealing. This is nicely done.* - 12/2022

Vinous.com – 91 pts – NM: *The 2020 Chasse-Spleen has opened up on the nose, quite precocious with black cherries, blueberry and candied orange peel, one of the most sensual aromatics profiles from Moulis. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, not as complex as the finest wines that I've tasted from this address, yet cohesive with a pleasant pepperiness and quite a persistent finish. Very fine.* - 12/2022

Thewinecellarinsider.com – 90 pts – JL: *Red and black cherries, spice box and dried flowers shoot from the perfume. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, fresh and lively, with a brisk, spicy red berry, tea and olive finish. Drink from 2025-2040.* - 03/2023
