Full red-ruby color. Inky black cherry, blueberry, licorice and bitter chocolate on the nose, plus a whiff of roasted meat that quickly dissipated. Dense and chewy on the palate, with very good intensity to its dark fruit, leather and chocolate flavors and a pronounced rocky quality. Showed increasing vibrancy with aeration but there's no easy sweetness to this soil-driven wine. Struck me as a bit energetically extracted. Finishes broad and long, with substantial dusty tannins. I'd forget about this for at least a few years. (92(+?) points)

The 2007 Ausone is a candidate for one of the wines of the vintage, rivaling Pavie and Lafite Rothschild. Its deep ruby/purple hue is accompanied by a beautiful nose of spring flowers, raspberries, black currants, and crushed rocks. The wine is dense, medium to fullbodied, and pure with sweet tannin as well as a surprisingly evolved, forward style. It is one of the few Ausones I have tasted that can be drunk with great pleasure at this stage, yet it promises to evolve for two decades. Drink 2010-2030

Berry and milk chocolate aromas, with hints of flowers, follow through to a medium-to-full body, with very silky tannins and a delicious, fruity finish. Subtle and pretty, balanced and gorgeous. So refined and caressing. Best after 2013.

Bright medium ruby. Dark berries, graphite and violet on the perfumed nose and palate. Suave, creamy and seamless, with terrific inner-mouth energy to the concentrated fruit flavors. Boasts wonderful volume and sweetness for the vintage. Not at all a blockbuster-and less structured and youthfully aggressive than the 2006-but shapely and long on the aftertaste, with rather suave tannins. This is likely to give pleasure much earlier than the 2006 and 2005.

Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, fast opaker Kern, violette Reflexe. In der Nase ganz pure Frucht, dunkle Beeren, vielleicht noch eine Spur verhalten, feine Gewürze und Edelholzaromen. Am Gaumen präzise und elegant, bleibt sehr lange haften, ungemein balanciert, perfekte Tannine, zart nach Schokolade, mineralisch, sehr geschliffen, alles am rechten Fleck, reife Herzkirschen im Abgang, feinwürziger Rückgeschmack, zeigt echte Premier-Cru-Rasse.
