Description
Chateau Ausone 2000St. Emilion
2lbsl, 2lnl
Bottle (4)
A Distinguished Collection from a Prominent Wine Figure Assembled by a respected voice within the wine industry, this collection showcases the most iconic producers of France, Italy, and Spain. With a discerning focus on provenance, the collector has secured each bottle from only the most trusted sources: the Petrus was acquired directly from the château, while the remaining treasures were purchased through esteemed auction houses. Since acquisition, all wines have been maintained in professional, temperature- and humidity-controlled storage, ensuring their pristine condition.
"Its saturated purple color was followed by a surprisingly more evolved and open wine than I had written in my tasting note in 2003, where I predicted maturity between 2020 and 2075. This wine displays wonderful, sweet tannin and a big, sweet kiss of truffle, crushed rock, blueberry, blackberry, and licorice. Extremely rich, full-bodied, with astonishing power, precision, and delicacy, this is a sumptuous wine that should age well for 50-60 years..." (98+ pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, June 2010)
"The 2000 Ausone was tasted on no less than three occasions during March 2015, once with Pauline and Alain Vauthier. It is a great millennial Saint-Émilion with intense blackberry and cassis fruit laced with cedar and violets. Less opulent than it showed in its youth, it is a perfect marriage of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The palate even at 15 years of age is quite backward and you could argue, rather glossy. Yet there is poise here that lingers in the mouth with a brilliant mineral-driven finish. It is an Ausone that will give five or six decades of drinking pleasure but will certainly repay the more patient." (97 pts. Neal Martin, Vinous, March 2018)
