Château Ausone--Vintage 1978
Saint-Emilion, 1er grand cru classé (A)
Lot 130 slightly corroded capsules. Slightly bin-soiled labels, one stained. Levels into neck. Lot 131 very bin-soiled, damaged and damp-stained labels. Levels into neck. Lots 132 to 135 very good appearance. Lots 132, 133 and 134 levels base of neck or better and lot 135 levels top-shoulder or better
In original wooden cases
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)
