Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Ausone 1er Grand Cru Classe A 2005

100
/100

Sort med kun en let violet kant. Enormt tryk på næsen, ekstremt koncentreret og berusende vedholdende. Duften alene er nok, sort kirsebær, surkirsebær. Duften er en oplevelse i sig selv, ord er næsten ikke nok. I munden et superfint ultrakoncentrat, tanninmasser i en så fin og poleret form, der igen minder om Chateau Margaux. Kraft og race til udmattelsespunktet, med harmoni og balance i fængslende form. Der har aldrig været så stor finesse i Ausone. Finishen er stadig til stede efter mere end et minut. Den ultimative Saint Emilion! 100/100

The Wine Palate om: Chateau Ausone 1er Grand Cru Classe A

Expressive, Fragrant, Black Fruit, Roses, Licorice, Forest Floor, Medium to Full bodied, Refreshing Acidity, Subtle Oak, Grainy Texture, High Tannin, Youthful. The 2005 Ausone is a blend of 55% Cabernet Franc and 45% Merlot. Deep garnet-brick in color, it needs a lot of swirling to coax out the most evocative perfume of Morello cherries, raspberry preserves, redcurrant jelly, and red roses with hints of aniseed, forest floor, truffles, and iron ore. Medium to full-bodied, it has a very firm, grainy texture and an incredibly lively backbone. So, so beautifully perfumed, it finishes incredibly long and mineral-laced. This undoubtedly already offers a WOW experience, but I would give it another 3-5 years in bottle to truly let that perfume emerge, then drink it over the following 30-40-years+.

Parker om: Chateau Ausone 1er Grand Cru Classe A

I'm not going out on a limb saying the 2005 Ausone is better than the 2003, 2000, etc., but it is certainly at the same level. It is a wine of great intensity with extraordinary extract as well as a seamless integration of huge levels of tannin and alcohol. Amazingly deep and multilayered, but so ethereal it must be tasted to be believed, it is a rich, full-throttle offering that should outlive us all. It should not be consumed before 2020, but I suspect 95% of it will be long gone by then. Kudos to Alain Vauthier for pushing the envelope as far as anyone in Bordeaux is doing today. 100/100

Wine Spectator om: Chateau Ausone 1er Grand Cru Classe A

I love the tobacco, berry, cigar box, toasty oak, ripe fruit and fresh mushroom flavors in this full-bodied red, which has ultralayered tannins and vanilla, new oak and berry character. Powerful and superconcentrated, with great length. This is a muscular, full-throttle wine, racing very, very fast. Best after 2019. 1,330 cases made. 100/100

Suckling om: Chateau Ausone 1er Grand Cru Classe A

A mindbinder of a wine with pure fruit and so much fine tannins and mineral character. It’s hyper tight and super polished. The palate starts off slowly and ends with a bang. Amazing endless finish. What an energy. 100/100

Min vinmager

Château Ausone

Ausone er et lille og næsten spektakulært klassisk udseende slot højt oppe på en af skråningerne uden for de middelalderlige bymure i Saint Emilion. På trods af den grandiose beliggenhed og det faktum, at det havde en af de bedste vinmarker i Bordeaux, producerede det ret uinteressante vine i...
