Chateau Ausone, Saint-Emilion, France 2000 Chateau La Bridane notes of ripe red fruitsForget all those garage wines, forget the upstarts of Saint Emilion. When you want real class, you have to turn to Ausone. What a wine magnificently dense and opaque, hugely rich and sensual. Yet it doesn't seem in the least decadent for deep inside the wine is a huge backbone of ripe tannins. 98 Pts Wine Enthusiast
