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

100
/100

Lobenberg: Schwarz mit nur leicht violettem Rand. Ungeheurer Druck in der Nase, strömt extrem konzentriert und berauschend nachhaltig. Riechen allein reicht völlig aus, Schwarzkirsche, Sauerkirsche. Der Geruch ist schon ein Erlebnis, da reichen die Worte kaum. Im Mund ein superfeines Ultrakonzentrat, Tanninmassen in so feiner und polierter Form, wieder die Rückerinnerung an Chateau Margaux. Kraft und Rasse zum Abwinken, dabei Harmonie und Balance in bestechender Form. So eine tolle Finesse gab es noch nie bei Ausone. Der Nachhall ist nach über einer Minute noch präsent. Der ultimative Saint Emilion! 100/100

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

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

-- Parker: 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 über: Chateau Ausone 1er Grand Cru Classe A

-- Wine Spectator: 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 über: Chateau Ausone 1er Grand Cru Classe A

-- Suckling: 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

Château Ausone

Ausone ist ein kleines und geradezu spektakulär klassisch wirkendes Château hoch oben an einem der Hänge außerhalb der mittelalterlichen Stadtmauern von Saint Emilion. Trotz der grandiosen Lage und der Tatsache, dass es über eine der besten Rebflächen im Bordeaux verfügte, brachte es in den...
