【Chateau Ausone 2003】

Robert Parker Rating: 100/100
James Suckling Rating: 96/100

Chateau Ausone, located in the Saint-Emilion region of Bordeaux, France, is one of only four Premier A classified estates in the area. The wines of Chateau Ausone have long been celebrated as "the poet's wine." They exhibit a deep color and exude pure aromas of dark fruit, licorice, fresh flowers, and crushed stones. The wine is full-bodied yet not overly heavy, with exceptional aging potential. Robert Parker once stated, "If patience is not your virtue, then buying a bottle of Ausone is meaningless."

"Amazing! The limestone soils of Ausone appear to have been the perfect foil for resisting the extreme heat and drought of June, July and August, 2003. This black/purple-colored effort boasts a glorious nose of violets, truffles, lead pencil shavings, blueberry and blackberry liqueur. Full-bodied with staggering concentration, a voluptuous texture, low acidity and well-integrated, melted tannins, this deep, multidimensional, profound Bordeaux is beginning to drink exceptionally well. It should continue to do so for another two decades or more." －Robert Parker
