1990 Chateau Ausone, Saint-Emilion, Magnum (1.5L)
Product Description
Stephen Tanzer for Vinous Media writes "This is simply the best vintage of three-year old Ausone we've ever tasted. Excellent medium-dark color. Restrained, classy, mineral-tinged aromas. Firm and fresh; structured more like a Médoc than a right-bank wine. Still, displays great depth and richness for an infant Ausone. Marvelously subtle, multifaceted, firm finish." 95+ Pts Nov 1993
Neal Martin for RobertParker.com writes, "First tasted blind in March 2000 when it displayed a distinct nose of burnt toast and espresso, showing some sur-maturite on the palate. Then at the Ausone Vertical in January 2005. A simply joyous, perhaps vulgar wine at the Ausone vertical in January 2005. Mature in appearance with a wide brick rim and crimson core. A gorgeous nose of mulberry, espresso and a touch of liquorice. The warmth of the summer can be inhaled. A full-bodied, opulent palate with notes of raisin, leather, tar and liquorice. Open and brazen. Good acidity. Reminds me of the Lafleur 1989 with a wonderful savory, meaty finish. What an irresistible wine, one without pretension." BT 95-97Pts Published: Dec 31, 1999
