  Very good bottle - liquorice, spice and sweetness on the palate. Quite concentrated. Surprisingly good

  Fully mature nose of leather, mushrooms, underwood, a bit of red fruit, cherries, some herbal notes, and a hint of caramel. The palate has a bit more dark fruit notes, along with the leather, and overall good complexity and depth. Nice finish. Although the wine improved and opened up over the course of the night, I don't think this will get any better.

  From a magnum. Surprisingly good. Very little fruit left, rather dry on the palate. Some tobacco and dried fruit on the nose. Still enjoyable but drink now.

  Brick and brown hue in the glass.
  Aromas of dried fruit, raisin, tobacco, and dried earth.
  Acidity is started to cut the finish but the wine is great on the palate.
  The wine is long in the tooth. Drink now.

  A Few Favorite Wines (Vaucluse): Two Ausones in one night! Embarrassment of riches. This was really quite lovely. In a nice spot. A bit of the old library flavors here which I always like. Again some real depth to the wine. A wine I'd love to sip and ponder over for an evening. Last wine of the night, but we took our time with this. Worked actually quite well with a chocolate mousse.
