Offering up aromas of cassis, plums, pencil lead and liquorice, the 2019 L'Oratoire de Chasse-Spleen is medium to full-bodied, with a fleshy core of fruit, lively acids and ripe, powdery tannins that assert themselves on the finish with a very civilised expression of Moulis typical grip. Forget it for a decade and follow it for the next two.
Medium to deep garnet-purple coloured, the 2018 L'Oratoire de Chasse-Spleen has a nose of baked blackberries and plum preserves with tapenade and hoisin hints. The mouth is medium-bodied, firm and chewy with a slightly lean mid-palate and short finish.
The 2015 L'Oratoire de Chasse-Spleen is a wine that did not shine in barrel, however, that has been addressed now that this superb Moulis is in bottle. It has a fresh blackberry, tobacco and graphite-scented bouquet that is well defined, gaining intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin and crisp acidity. It feels fresh and lively with a welcome tang of salinity on the finish. It is not as powerful as other vintages that I have tasted, yet it is very well balanced and feels sustained on the aftertaste. I now feel much more optimistic about this 2015.
