Tasting Notes & Reviews
"This shows a lively character, with lots of dark-fruit and citrus character. Full body, chewy, creamy tannins and an intense finish. Try after 2016." 90/100 James Suckling Feb 2014
"Bright full ruby. Vibrant aromas of blackberry, blueberry and licorice are complicated by minerals and herbs. Juicy, pure and penetrating, with high-pitched blackberry, dark plum and floral flavors enlivened by harmonious acidity. Finishes with tight but smooth tannins and good sappy persistence. This really is a notch above Simard and Fonbel, two other wines made by the Ausone team. Serious wine." 89+/100, Ian D'Agata, Vinous, Jul 2014
