Chateau Ausone 2008

Description

Possibly the wine of the vintage the 2008 boasts an inky/blue/purple color as well as a glorious perfume of spring flowers blueberry and blackberry liqueur camphor truffles and crushed rocks. With great fruit on the attack and mid-palate a medium to full-bodied multidimensional mouthfeel and a skyscraper-like finish this prodigious effort over-delivers even for this phenomenal terroir. Give it 5-8 years of cellaring and drink it over the following 40-50 years. – Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
