Château Ausone--Vintage 1978
Saint-Emilion, 1er grand cru classé (A)
Purchased from Corney & Barrow in 1982. Scuffed capsules. Eleven slightly bin-soiled labels, one bin-soiled and one slightly damaged. Levels top-shoulder or better
Tasting note: A classic Ausone, still backward and remarkably youthful, the 1978 has a dark ruby colour, an aroma of ripe fruit, as well as scents of minerals and spicy oak. Medium bodied with high tannins and a long finish, this wine is austere, stubbornly slow to evolve, and obviously made for long-term cellaring. Robert Parker. Bordeaux Book 3rd Edition (1998)
