Château Ausone--Vintage 2000
Saint-Emilion, 1er grand cru classé (A). Château-bottled
Lots 341 to 345 in six-bottle original wooden cases
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 January 2005 **(***) 2008 - 2018. M.B.
