drink-now2001 Château Chasse-Spleen, Moulis-en-Médoc

This is classic Bordeaux from the reliable Château Chasse-Spleen. The almost forgotten 2001 vintage is one my favourites, sometimes managing to eclipse the sunnier 2000. Opulent and rich, this has an intense nose, displaying a sweet but precise texture. It is just beginning to show some lovely mature notes and doesn’t disappoint  Emany would think it is a wine of higher ranking tasted blind. Drink now to 2029.
