Chateau Chasse Spleen 2016

Deep garnet. The wine is limpid and brilliant. Before agitation: clear and expressive nose of black cherries and fresh red rose wine. After stirring: blackberry and pink pepper. The attack is frank and ample. The mouth is voluminous and opens on a thin and tight, satiny frame. The finish is persistent with hints of liquorice and cocoa powder. Wait 2022 to enjoy with a potential of guard until 2045. We did not experience a winter. Too soft and too wet. In six months, there is more rain than in an average year. A sudden and unexpected sunny window allows a homogeneous flower. The summer is scorching until September and paradoxically, we hope for a little rain, which comes at the beginning of September. The plant stops protecting itself from this harsh heat to resume the path of ripening. The young plants are revived, the old ones remain hieratic in the face of indecision. The harvests are late and the weather makes them serene. Cabernets Sauvignon adore: the mark of great Médoc vintages.
