CHATEAU AUSONE, 2008

SAINT-EMILION GRAND CRU

All wines of CHATEAU AUSONE - All wines of Bordeaux - All wines
"Perhaps the 'wine of the vintage,' the 2008 displays an inky/blue/purple color along with a glorious perfume of spring flowers, blueberry and blackberry liqueur, camphor, truffles, and crushed stones. With great fruity richness from the attack to the mid-palate, a multidimensional texture in the mouth, ranging from medium to full-bodied, and a dizzying finish, this prodigious effort exceeds expectations, even for this phenomenal terroir. Allow it 5 to 8 years of cellaring, then enjoy it over the following 40 to 50 years." - Robert Parker
