Amazing! The limestone soils of Ausone appear to have been the perfect foil for resisting the extreme heat and drought of June, July and August, 2003. This black/purple-colored effort boasts a glorious nose of violets, truffles, lead pencil shavings, blueberry and blackberry liqueur. Full-bodied with staggering concentration, a voluptuous texture, low acidity and well-integrated, melted tannins, this deep, multidimensional, profound Bordeaux is beginning to drink exceptionally well. It should continue to do so for another two decades or more.

Very inky color. Intense aromas of black licorice, currants, berries, minerals and citrus. Hints of smoky wood. Full-bodied and superconcentrated, with layers of ripe fruit and supervelvety tannins. Goes on and on. Very complex with amazing concentration. I am glad I was sitting down when I tasted this. Blockbuster. Massive. Score range: 95-100

Full blue-tinged ruby color. Vibrant, austere aromas of blackberry, blueberry, bitter cherry, licorice, minerals and mint. Penetrating and powerful, with strong acids contributing to the wine's muscularity. Not yet especially fleshy or sweet, but this has superb energy in the mouth, and the structure to carry it through decades of development in bottle. Notes of dark berries, graphite and licorice. The huge, expanding finish features powerful, medicinal but noble tannins that avoid dryness. A testament to the high quality achievable in 2003 by cabernet franc grown on chalk.
