Unwinding in the glass with deep aromas of wild berries, vine smoke,
orange rind, exotic spices and violets, framed by a deft application of
classy new oak, the 2019 Ausone is full-bodied, rich and concentrated,
with beautiful purity of fruit, lively acids and ripe but abundant
structuring tannins. Deep, layered and vibrant, it's full of potential
and will likely emerge as one of the most long-lived 2019s. This is
another magical wine from what many consider to be Saint-Emilion's
greatest terroir, and it will demand and richly reward patience.
