Description

Chateau Ausone 1989
St. Emilion
Bottle (2)

The Merritt Cellar-Wines stored in a meticulously kept, temperature-controlled home cellar from client's Greenwich, CT home.

"The 1989 Ausone is a good but not great wine, certainly one that ought to have been far better given the benevolent growing season. The nose is well defined with dark berry fruit, mocha, leather and undergrowth scents, fully matured but nicely focused. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly better acidity and more freshness than the 1990. The tannins feel rather rugged - certainly an Ausone that needs to look up the word "finesse" in the dictionary, yet there is good substance and an agreeable pencil lead tinged finish. What is it missing? Just a sense of personality." (90 pts. Neal Martin, Vinous, Feb. 2018)
