1989 Chasse Spleen Moulis Red Wine Bordeaux France
$114.99 USD
Winemaker Notes
Dense red Burgundy color. The wine is straightforward and clean. Aromas and flavors of vanilla, cherry, fireplace, red fruit and hints of wood. There is a silky and creaminess on the palate and the finish is persistent and contains flavors of morello cherry.
Press
"The 1989 Chasse-Spleen offers chestnut and black truffle on the nose, with a touch of dried blood, comfortably revealing in its secondary aromas. The palate is wonderfully balanced, the dusty black fruit laced with cedar and charcoal, a hint of soy on the “old school” finish. The 1989 has held up wonderfully and, though maybe not quite as charming or as voluminous as the 1990, it is not far off."
Rated 92 Points Vinous
"Make no mistake about it, the 1989 Chasse-Spleen is the finest wine this property has produced since their great 1949. This is a spectacularly rich, powerful, authoritative example of the vintage that can compete with and even surpass many of the most famous names. Layer upon layer of concentrated, sweet, expansive, blackcurrant fruit is wrapped in a frame of toasty new oak and decent acidity. An awesome wine!"
