Nice clear bright colour, and the wine is sweet, fruity and pure - very harmonious on palate - but it is going to take its time, judging by the tannin levels. L&S (Mar 2005)

One of the two finest estates of Moulis (the other being Poujeaux), Chasse Spleen’s large vineyard is planted with 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot. The ripe, generous 2001 is a chunky, fleshy, deep ruby/purple-colored effort revealing good body, moderate tannin, and an earthy, black currant fruitiness offering notions of minerals and tree bark. Give it 2-3 years of cellaring to shed its substantial tannin, and drink it over the following decade. Rating: 88 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, www.RobertParker.com (May 2011)
Good medium ruby. Pretty aromas of blackberry, cassis, violet and espresso. Fresh and penetrating, with moderate flesh and sweetness. Not quite green but a bit hard in the middle and firmly tannic on the finish. Aromatic in the mouth, but shows an edge of acidity on the end. Rating: 85-87 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (May 2002)
