CHATEAU AUSONE, 2005

SAINT-EMILION GRAND CRU

"I love the flavors of tobacco, berries, cigar box, toasted oak, ripe fruits, and fresh mushrooms in this full-bodied red, which features ultra-layered tannins along with notes of vanilla, new oak, and berries. Powerful and super concentrated, with impressive length. This is a muscular wine, full throttle, moving very, very fast." - James Suckling 100/100
