"Incredible! The limestone soils of Ausone seem to have been the perfect ally to withstand the extreme heat and drought of June, July, and August 2003. This black/purple effort reveals a sumptuous nose of violets, truffles, pencil shavings, as well as blueberry and blackberry liqueur. Full-bodied with impressive concentration, a voluptuous texture, low acidity, and well-integrated, melted tannins, this deep, multidimensional, and intense Bordeaux is beginning to be exceptionally enjoyable to taste." - Robert Parker
