This is easily one of the wines of the vintage, even if that is not exactly the highest praise for a year when heatwave temperatures meant that many wines are now past their peak. Ausone showed a freshness at the time of bottling that it has maintained through the intervening years. You get the tell-tale spice and exoticism of extremely ripe fruit, but there is a core of gentle, rolling acidity and a salinity that draws you on.
