Salon Ficofi Paris walkabout tasting and dinner, no detailed tasting notes. From DMG, generous, lush, good structure, much better than the 2011 alongside it. 96+

Drunk alongside 2006 and 2014 Like the 2006 but even more complex and slightly more concentrated. Not heavy. Better than 06 or 14 Mineral, red fruits. A brilliant vintage

Definitely a powerful, full-bodied and well-rounded right-bank Bordeaux wine. Intense aroma of fresh grass, pine and dark berries. Tannins and acohold levels are high, yet silky smooth to drink. Ausone never fails; and it has consistently out performed its peers from the rignt-bank, say Angelus, Cheval Blanc and Pavie.

Moved nicely in the right direction since last bottle. This bottle started very pretty and then became so gorgeously addictive as it opened up. A background of velvety soft tannins, coats your entire mouth , in a delightfully enjoyable way. I’m trying to wait for at least 3 years for the next bottle.

Drank my first bottle of an ex-château half case. Brief note: I love right bank Merlot /Cab Franc blends and in this case 55 CF /45 Merlot . Needs 2-3 more years to resolve the tannins. Beautiful silky mouth feel, cab franc nose, good structure, a star in the making! 99+ potiental within the next two decades. Currently 97 IMO. Going to put the other bottles in a cold dark cellar and try to forget them for a half a decade or so!
