Tasted blind at the 2012 Southwold tasting, the 2012 Ausone took more time to settle in the glass than its peers, eventually deciding upon briary, violet and cassis scents—very floral and Margaux-like in style, not powerful but insistent. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, a crisp line of acidity, blackcurrant pastille mixed with cedar and a dash of spice, the wine finally revving up towards an intense and persistent finish that almost stains the mouth with its opulence. It is a gorgeous Saint Emilion from Pauline and Alain Vauthier. Tasted January 2016.

One of the wines of the vintage, the 2012 Ausone boats gorgeous depth, aromatic intensity and overall balance. Dark red stone fruits, menthol, licorice, smoke and savory herbs flesh out as this layered, seductive Saint- Emilion shows off its pure pedigree and class, Further time in bottle should allow the 2012 to flesh out even more, but it is pretty special today. I remember tasting the 2012 straight form barrel with Alain Vauthier in the spring 2013, The bottled, finished wine is every bit as special. The blend is 55% Cabernet Franc and 45% Merlot.

The bell-pepper note is quite prominent on the nose, but on the medium-bodied palate it adds freshness. Not that much structure, but some fine tannins come through at the delicate and slightly tart finish. Drink or hold. Château Quintus vertical tasting. SP.
