Lot 161 Details
CHÂTEAU AUSONE 2003

Saint-Émilion. Premier Grand Cru Classé
u. bn. 1 x stained label. 1 x scuffed label.

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. August 2014 Drink: 2014-2034 WA 100

2 bts.    per lot $1,600 - $1,800

Realised: $1,920
