This is an incredibly textured wine that boasts a bounty of fleshy white nectarine and orchard fruit
white pepper and warm gravel scents
like redcurrant and cranberry coulis
licorice and dark chocolate with touches of earthiness and nutmeg-like spice
The fruit shows softer and richer concentration compared to past vintages and more pulpy density that gives this edition a bigger profile in terms of mouthfeel
Château Chasse Spleen 2009, Médoc #Low Stock This is an incredibly textured54. 95 per bottle ABV 14% "The 2009 is the finest Chasse Spleen since the 1989. Its deep purple color is accompanied by notes of graphite, black currants, sweet spice, and a hint of Chinese black tea. Full bodied and opulent with well integrated acidity, tannin, wood, and alcohol, it is a lush beauty to enjoy over the next 20+ years. (Tasted two times.)" 90 92 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (188), April 2010
