An exceptionally well-aged wine from a great vintage. The Chasse-Spleen 1953 shows the elegance and complexity that characterise old Bordeaux wines. Despite its age, it is not overripe, but balanced with a fascinating depth. A wine for connoisseurs that epitomises the history of Bordeaux.

Drinking age: At its peak - should not be stored for too long.
Recommendation: Decant (carefully to avoid sediment) and enjoy with game, venison or mature cheese.

Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5 - A rarity with impressive vibrancy)
