Chateau Ausone, Saint-Emilion, France 2000 Chateau La Bridane And at the end

And at the end

Its dark amber color is accompanied by sweet

and delicious with bright acidity and citrus flavors of meyer lemon and grapefruit to go along with a nice backbone of ocean salinity

The palate is spicy and complex

redcurrant jelly and black plums scents with touches of garrigue

Chateau Ausone, Saint-Emilion, France 2000 Chateau La Bridane And at the endForget all those garage wines, forget the upstarts of Saint Emilion. When you want real class, you have to turn to Ausone. What a wine magnificently dense and opaque, hugely rich and sensual. Yet it doesn't seem in the least decadent for deep inside the wine is a huge backbone of ripe tannins. 98 Pts Wine Enthusiast
