Please read: This wine is a Bordeaux Future. It is not expected to arrive in stock until Spring/Summer 2006. Robert Parker Review 91-94 There is very little produced, but one of the greatest second wines I have tasted is the gorgeous 2003 Chapelle d’Ausone. Better than many Ausones made under the old regime (before Alain Vauthier bought out his predecessor), it boasts a dense perfume of cassis, blueberries, minerals, and violets. With an inky/purple color, medium to full body, a tremendous lightness of being on the palate, and a 60-second finish, this compelling 2003 will drink well for 15+ years. Wine Spectator Review 89-91 Fabulous licorice and citrus aromas with ripe fruit aromas. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a very pretty finish. Firm yet silky. Serious second wine. Slightly hollow midpalate. -- J.S. Decanter Review 4 Stars The second wine of Ch Ausone and a coup de coeur in 2003. A little more Merlot than Cabernet Franc plus the press wine. Rich, dark, blueberry fruit on the nose. Sweet attack, intense, elegant, mouthfilling fruit with firm, crunchy tannins on the finish. Great length and tram. 2010-2020. Formats Offered 750ml |
