The 2005 Ausone is a perfect wine of the vintage. It displays crushed rock, spring flowers, blueberry and blackberry fruit, a full-bodied mouthfeel, stunning purity and richness, and perfect harmony among all of its component parts (acidity, tannin, wood, alcohol and extract). Still youthful, but oh, so promising, this wine should be set aside for another decade and drunk over the following 50-75 years.

I love the tobacco, berry, cigar box, toasty oak, ripe fruit and fresh mushroom flavors in this full-bodied red, which has ultralayered tannins and vanilla, new oak and berry character. Powerful and superconcentrated, with great length. This is a muscular, full-throttle wine, racing very, very fast. Best after 2019.
Named for the Roman poet Ausonius who once resided in this area, Ausone is one of four Premier Grand Cru Classé (A) wines in the classification of Saint-Emilion along with Angelus, Cheval Blanc and Pavie. The vineyard of Ausone has a 50/50 split of Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes and is located at the southern edge of Saint Emilion atop a steep south-facing slope. Since the appointment of acclaimed consultant Michel Rolland in 1995, these wines have become celebrated for their rich and luscious style.
