Ch Chasse Spleen 2005

Having blogged about Chateau Chasse Spleen finally, I realized that I  still had not commented on how I found their wines on this blog. Unfortunately, I have not been able to locate the notes for the 2003 CBE tasting for now and so cannot comment on that vintage.

The 2005 Chasse Spleen was a nice deep purple ruby, with a sweet berry nose spiced with a good smattering of wood. The palate was sweet fruity tannic as well as woody. All this was nicely held together with an acid backbone seasoned with a smidgeon of tannins. All very nice and well matched to the Beef Wellington served that evening, except for an odd bottle of two with cork taint (one of which found its way into my wife's glass, unfortunately).
