2003
Château Ausone  (St. Émilion Grand Cru)
99
The wine of the vintage from the Right Bank is relatively youthful, concentrated, and rich, with a serious depth of raw materials, ripe fruits and minerality. The exotic textures are perfectly matched by the complex earthy, licorice, floral, plum, black cherry and crushed rock filled nose. The incredibly long, expansive, mineral drive finish must last for close to 60 seconds on your palate.

Showing some signs of aging in the color, the wine pops with stone, truffle, flowers, licorice, cassis and black raspberry scents. Rich, deep, concentrated, lush and pure, the finish is long, intense and focused, with sensations of minerality. Power, purity and finesse. Based on the track for aging found in Ausone, this will only get better with time. Now, if only I could afford it!

With effort, licorice, caramel, intense minerality, floral, boysenberry, blueberry, plum, espresso bean and spice scents start to come alive. There is incredible levels of concentration in this wine. It's packed and stacked with all the right stuff to age and develop for decades. However, it's not a lot of fun to drink today. The sensation of quality is there, but it's like taking a Ferrari for a spin in a parking lot. Smells good, sounds good and feels even better. But it needs to open up. Currently, it's tight and primary. 2003 Ausone demands air, coaxing and time to come But if you have the money and want an example of the best Right Bank of the vintage, this is the wine to buy!

This Bordeaux wine is pitch black! Like a black hole in space, light does not pass through. On the nose, an incredible smell of blackberry liqueur, intense levels of minerals, spice, herbs and earth takes over your nose, makes you sit up straight and pay attention. Incredibly concentrated with so much rich, deep, ripe fruit, the best way to imbibe this massive wine might be with a spoon. It is that unctuous! The wine should been decanted all day instead of 3 hours as it only teased us with what it will deliver when fully mature.
