A very elegant, fresh and classical wine with a lot of energy and drive on the finish, which has a real mineral character. Great aging potential. Needs three years to soften. Real Chasse-Spleen here!
91 Robert Parker
The 2014 Chasse-Spleen has an attractive bouquet, one that is more forward than I expected, replete with brambly red berry fruit, pain grillé and brown spice aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a fine bead of acidity and commendable weight. It perhaps does not quite deliver the freshness and precision I was anticipating after its primeur showing, although I appreciate the tangy marmalade note that complements the black fruit on the structured finish. One to watch.<br/>
91 Wine Spectator
A gentle, elegant style, with black cherry and Campari notes that flesh out slowly in the glass, picking up hints of bittersweet cocoa and loam through the finish.—J.M.

Dunkles Granat, recht satt in der Mitte, rubiner Rand. Pfeffriges, würziges Bouquet, Tabak und Kirschennoten. Im Gaumen muskulös, sehnig und völlig charmelos. Mehr Knochen wie Fleisch. Wer die alten, grossen Chasse-Spleen's noch kennt, der kann diesem hier - einmal mehr - eine Träne nachweinen.
