Details
Château Ausone--Vintage 1988
Saint-Emilion, 1er grand cru classé (A)
Lot 928 badly bin soiled and loose labels
In original wooden case
Parcel: lots 929-930
"The 1988 may need 20 years to reach its peak, as it is probably the most tannic, young Ausone I have ever tasted. The tannins are extremely hard, even astringent, but unlike a number of 1988s where the balance between tannins and fruit favors the tannin (always a troubling sign), here is a case where there is plenty of juicy red and black fruit extract in a medium-bodied, superbly concentrated, very intense and powerful wine. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2040. Last tasted, 4/93." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #88 (Aug 1993)
