2008 Chateau Ausone St Emilion Grand Cru from this lot has the following scores - The Wine Advocate 98 points, Jeannie Cho Lee (formerly Asian Palate) 98 points, Decanter 98 points, Jeb Dunnuck 98 points, Jeff Leve The Wine Cellar Insider 98 points, Wine Enthusiast 97 points, Vinous 96 points. This is the tasting note for 2008 Chateau Ausone St Emilion Grand Cru from Robert Parker - Possibly the “wine of the vintage,” the 2008 boasts an inky/blue/purple color as well as a glorious perfume of spring flowers, blueberry and blackberry liqueur, camphor, truffles and crushed rocks. With great fruit on the attack and mid-palate, a medium to full-bodied, multidimensional mouthfeel and a skyscraper-like finish, this prodigious effort over-delivers, even for this phenomenal terroir. Give it 5-8 years of cellaring and drink it over the following 40-50 years.
