December 12, 2023 - 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+

November 28, 2023 - 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 vintage1 person found this helpful Comment -

October 17, 2023 - 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.

May 28, 2023 - 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. -

August 16, 2022 - 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!
