2005 Ausone Bordeaux - OWC 6-pak - 100 pts! 

A tiny production of just over 1300 cases will make the 2005 Ausone impossible to find but proprietor Alain Vauthier continues to exhibit the Midas touch with his perfectionist efforts at this estate. This brilliant blue/black-hued offering reveals an extraordinarily youthful but promising nose of incense blueberries blackberries currants licorice and crushed rocks. This intense 2005 boasts powerful super-layered multidimensional flavors with tremendous extraction yet they come across as incredibly sublime even delicate for such a stunningly concentrated full-bodied effort. A masterpiece of concentration and balance it will no doubt be drinking well a century from now.
