1998 Ausone - Saint-Emilion, Bordeaux,
France
1998 Ausone : Very
deep crimson colour. On the
nose, 1998 Ausone is subtle and very complex - liquorice,
vanilla, spices, plum... On the
palate, the
texture
of Ausone is incredibly tight, together granulous and
soft. The fruit fills up the mouth gradually and
powerfully with a slight wooden touch
by the end, but everything is marvellously and rigorously
balanced. A total demonstration of Alain Vauthier's talent and of the incomparable quality of Ausone's soil. So smooth though a little bit
austere, which is Ausone's unique trademark. What a dimension! 97/100.
