Lot 57 Details
CHÂTEAU AUSONE 2003

Saint-Émilion. Premier Grand Cru Classé
u. 3 x bn. 2 x marked labels. 1 x scraped capsule.

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. August 2014 Drink: 2014-2034 WA 100

3 bts.    per lot $3,000 - $3,500

Realised: $4,200
