JAMES SUCKLING: "Medium-bodied with chewy tannins and an array of spiced-fruit, hazelnut and cocoa notes. Pleasant, savory finish. From organically grown grapes."

ROBERT PARKER - THE WINE ADVOCATE: "A strong effort, the 2021 Chasse-Spleen exhibits aromas of sweet berries and plums mingled with pipe tobacco, loamy soil, rose petals and pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, supple and seamless, it's lively and refined, with ripe tannins and a penetrating, saline finish. It's a blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot and 9% Petit Verdot, and only 55% of the estate's production went into the grand vin." - William Kelley

FALSTAFF: "Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Frische Herzkirschen, zarte Brombeerkonfitüre, zart tabakig, angenehme Kräuterwürze. Mittlere Komplexität, Kirschen auch am Gaumen, reife Tannine, frische Struktur, bereits zugänglich, ein lebendiger Speisenbegleiter." - Peter Moser
