The 1982 Chasse-Spleen has never been as impressive as the glorious series of wines made under the late Bernadette Villars between 1985 and 1990. Nevertheless, the 1982 continues to behave well, exhibiting plenty of ripe, spicy, curranty fruit in its moderately intense nose, medium body, sweet, expansive fruit, and an easy-going finish.
Rich : colour, nose and taste. Living up to its reputation.
