2005 Chateau Ausone - Chapelle d'AusoneColour : Red Producer : Chateau Ausone Label Name : Chapelle d'Ausone Country : France Region : Bordeaux Sub Region : St Emilion Variety : Proprietary Blend Vintage : 2005 Capacity : 750 ml Standard Bottle Tasting Note : Very dark crimson. Quite high volatility porty. Green acidity. Pinched palate effect. No fun at all to drink and I really cant see it getting into balance. Another example of a Vauthier wine that I found unappealing at this stage at

black cherries

It has a transparency that shows such greatness and beauty

It is beautifully evolved

It lingers long

and finishes with rapier

and vinifies with an emphasis on natural acidity

This expression hits all the major cornerstones of a great Barolo

warm gravel
