Ausone 2015
CRITIC REVIEWS
Lisa Perrotti-Brown
Ausone 2015 is a blend of 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Franc and has a medium to deep garnet color. It needs considerably swirling and air to begin to reveal notes of iron ore, Chinese five spice, underbrush, and black truffles, before it opens out to a core of fruitcake, dried roses, licorice, and blueberry preserves, plus a hint of kirsch. Full-bodied, rich and powerful in the mouth, the palate delivers a solid core of muscular fruit with firm yet velvety tannins and seamless freshness, finishing with incredible length and jaw dropping layers. Incredible!

Tasted blind. Deep crimson but an evolved rim. Sweet ink on the nose. A warm buttery note. Not quite as focused as some. At the moment it is a collection of parts rather than a whole. A bit stringy on the end. Mint and liquorice. Lots going on there. Ch Quintus? Ch Ausone?
