Château Ausone--Vintage 2000
Saint-Emilion, 1er grand cru classé (A)
In original wooden case
Tasting note: Alain Vauthier's 'dream vintage', and tasted with him from the cask in June 2001. Immensely impressive. Most recently: very deep, velvety; initially dumb, then medicinal, finally opening up fragrantly, whiff of bramble and eucalyptus; seemed dry at first but, second time round, sweeter and richer. A superb Ausone. Last tasted Jan 2005 **(***) 2008-2018 M.B.
