28. Château Chasse-Spleen, Moulis-en-Médoc
“The 2019 Chasse-Spleen is very perfumed on the nose, offering vivid brambly red fruit, leather, undergrowth and cedar aromas that gain intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied and cohesive, with a sappy opening and fine acidity. Lightly spiced, showing plenty of substance on the finish. While not the most consistent estate, Chasse-Spleen has it in its grasp to make great wines, and the 2019 is one of them. Drinking Window: $85 29. Chevalier de Lascombes, Margaux “The 2019 Chevalier de Lascombes is a rich, heady wine to drink now and over the next handful of years. Ripe black cherry, plum, spice, chocolate and tobacco are dialed up. This is an especially flamboyant style, but it works well. Drinking Window: 2022 - 2029.” 90 pts, Vinous 392715 $80 30. Le Clarence de Haut-Brion, Pessac‑Léognan 2025 - 2050.” 93 pts, Vinous 389406, 390793 “This is very beautiful with pure blackcurrant and rose-petal aromas, together with wet earth and black truffle, following through to a medium-to full-bodied palate with ultra-fine tannins that coat the mouth and deliver a fantastic impression. The complexity of flavor is so satisfying in the finish. Try after 2026.” 96 pts, James Suckling 39523 $380
