CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2020 Ausone has a very crisp and precise bouquet, with a mixture of red and black fruit, crushed stone, black truffle and cedar that gains intensity in the glass. Medium in body, the palate is composed and refined with fine tannins. A taut yet brilliantly defined, pixelated finish goes on and on and on. This is one of the Vauthiers' finest wines in recent years. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.

Tasted blind. Deep crimson. Vibrant dark-red fruits, fragrant and open. Very fine tannins, juicy freshness. Much more approachable than many 2020s but with a long life ahead. Elegant restraint and masses of freshness. (JH)
