The 2003 Château Ausone is an absolute titan from a notoriously hot vintage, defying the odds to produce a wine of legendary concentration and profound minerality. Yields were microscopically low, resulting in a liquid that is essentially the blood of the limestone plateau. It pours an inky purple and explodes with crushed liquid rocks, blackberry liqueur, violet, and roasted espresso. Full-bodied, remarkably thick, and opulent, yet it miraculously maintains an astonishing freshness and ethereal lift. This is a 100-point potential masterpiece and one of the greatest Ausones ever produced.
