Château Ausone--Vintage 2004
Saint-Emilion, 1er grand cru classé (A)
Tasting note: One of the vintages most compelling wines. Along with Pétrus, it will probably be the longest-lived. A dense purple colour is accompanied by a celestial perfume of blue and black fruits, wet stones, flowers, and incense. On the palate, exceptional power and concentration, a surreal lightness. Beautiful flavours, sensational depth, and abundant structure suggest this 2004 will not be close to full maturity for 8-10 years. It should last for four decades. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 171, June 2007.
