PETRUS AND AUSONE
Case lot quantities of young desirable vintages from a serious collector of these wines.

Château Ausone--Vintage 1999
Saint-Emilion, 1er grand cru classé (A)
Both lots in original wooden cases
Parcel: lots 458-459
"Is the 1999 Ausone the wine of the vintage? Dense purple color, a compelling bouquet of licorice, minerals, black and blueberry liqueur, extraordinary delineation, high tannin, superb extract, and phenomenal richness all are the stuff of a legend. This wine seems impossible to have emerged from a vintage like 1999. Proprietor Alain Vauthier produced only 20,000 bottles because he eliminated one-fourth of the tiny crop. The result is out-and-out fabulous, but the wine needs 12-15 years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2050." Robert Parker Wine Advocate # 140 Apr 2002
