THE WINE ADVOCATE #199 (Feb 2012) Robert Parker – 98+ points – Drink: 2020 – 2060 – “A masterpiece in the making, proprietor Alain Vauthier’s 2009 Ausone boasts a dense purple color along with notes of powdered chalk, crushed rocks and wild blue, red and black fruits. Extravagantly rich with great minerality, precision and freshness as well as a voluptuous texture (unusual for a baby Ausone), this is an extraordinary wine. Sadly, there are fewer than 1,200 cases … for the world. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2060+.”
