Critic's Acclaims:
16.5/20 - Jancis Robinson: "Charming, polished, fresh, elegant and offering pleasure today, the sweet black cherries, black raspberries and plums and complicated with earthy, floral notes. Unlike most vintages of Ausone, this is not a wine that requires more aging."
94/100 - Jeff Leve (The Wine Cellar Insider): "Sweet black cherry, black raspberry and plum fruit, with complicated earthy, floral notes. Medium to full-bodied, fresh and juicy, with polished tannins and a long, elegant finish. A beautiful expression of Ausone, and surprisingly ready to drink now, though it will also age gracefully."
