Château Chasse-Spleen 2021

Description

Aromatic on the nose – rose petals. This has a juicy, bright core, that gentle succulence where your mouth instantly waters from the acidity but you also get a mouthful of summer berry fruit at the same time. I like this a lot, the fruit feels well worked and delivered with poise and energy and the chalky and salty tannins provide just the right grip on the palate. It’s not the most expansive right now but feels classy with hints of glamour and I love the mentholated, liquorice touch at the end. Drinking window: 2025-2033. Score – 91.
