Lot #485. Ausone 2003

Description: Consists of 4 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 100 RP.
"Amazing! The limestone soils of Ausone appear to have been the perfect foil for resisting the extreme heat and drought of June, July and August, 2003. This black/purple-colored effort boasts a glorious nose of violets, truffles, lead pencil shavings, blueberry and blackberry liqueur. Full-bodied with staggering concentration, a voluptuous texture, low acidity and well-integrated, melted tannins, this deep, multidimensional, profound Bordeaux is beginning to drink exceptionally well. It should continue to do so for another two decades or more." Wine Advocate #214, Aug 2014
Provenance: The Sea Cliff Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $2,750
