  • Description
    <p><strong>91 Points, Wine Enthusiast:</strong></p><p>&quot;Always one of the star crus bourgeois, Chasse-Spleen has produced a 2003 that manages to combine the rich, ripe fruits of the year with the right tannins and sweetness, along with blackberry fruits. It has the elegance and delicacy of Moulis, as well as some good intensity of flavor. A wine that will certainly age for 10 years or more. R.V.&quot; (5/1/2006)</p><p><strong>89 Points, Wine Spectator:</strong></p><p>&quot;Lots of blackberry and dark chocolate on the nose. Full-bodied, with fine tannins and a fresh, fruity aftertaste. Very delicate style for the vintage. Best after 2008. 25,000 cases made. &ndash;JS&quot; (3/31/2006)</p><p><font color="#cc0000"><strong>Most discounts and promotions are not applicable on this premium wine.</strong></font></p>

    Bright ruby-red. Bright aromas of blueberry, cassis, mint, violet and shoe polish. Moderately sweet, juicy and lively, with firm, slightly medicinal flavors of blueberry and blackberry. Not especially fleshy but fresh and vibrant. Finishes with firm tannins that turned a bit dry in the glass.
