Château Chasse-Spleen - Rouge - 2005 - 750ml - Château Chasse-Spleen

A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, this is a relatively big 2005 and somewhat larger than usual for Chasse-Spleen. The wine offers high tannin but ripe, concentrated fruit. Dense, youthful ruby/garnet in colour, with notes of cassis, saddle leather and spice, this wine could use another several years of cellaring and should keep 15+ years.
