"This is the second wine of Ausone. 60% Cabernet Franc, 35% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Violet and summer rose aromas, with bright raspberry fruit. The palate is pure and red berried, with pretty blue flower perfume and a crunchy, peppery definition, framed by firm, fine tannins. A wine of charming fruit, with a chassis built for ageing.
C&B Score: 17.5+
