Château Ausone 2008
Saint-Emilion, 1er grand cru classé
In original wooden case
Tasting note: Possibly the “wine of the vintage,” the 2008 boasts an inky/blue/purple colour as well as a glorious perfume of spring flowers, blueberry and blackberry liqueur, camphor, truffles and crushed rocks. With great fruit on the attack and mid-palate, a medium to full-bodied, multidimensional mouth-feel and a skyscraper-like finish, this prodigious effort over-delivers, even for this phenomenal terroir. Give it 5-8 years of cellaring and drink it over the following 40-50 years. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #194, May 2011
