Château Ausone 2004

St. Emilion, 1er Grand Cru Classé (A)

2 slightly damp-stained labels, 1 damp-stained label, Mexico import tags adhered to labels

Still young and firm, this is a very black fruit wine, a real hallmark of Ausone as it is now. Very fine elements. Fruit and tannin in generous supply, but of course still quite unevolved for this, perhaps, is Bordeaux's longest-living wine. Great promise. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
