Chapelle d' Ausone (2nd Vin) 2015 75cl

A second label produced mainly from the younger vines at Château Ausone, the 2015 Chapelle d'Ausone is a blend of 45% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon aged in French oak barrels, 85% new, for 20 months. Deep garnet-purple in color, it appears broody to begin, offering glimpses at black berry preserves and crème de cassis notions with nuances of cigar box, Chinese five spice, menthol and chocolate box. Full-bodied, firm and grainy with a taut structure and packed with youthful, muscular fruit, it finishes on a compelling mineral note.

Gorgeous perfumes of lavender, roses, currants, blackberries and violets follow through to a full body, and soft and round, beautifully textured tannins. Alluring and inviting to drink now. Beautiful length. Very open and savory for the second wine of Ausone.

Tiefes Purpur, satt in der Mitte, Granatschimmer am Rand. Delikates Bouquet, Brombeeren und dunkles Malz, schöne Würze anzeigend. Im Gaumen saftig und elegant, fein kernige Mitte, das gibt eine gewisse Rasse, wirkt momentan noch etwas vordergründig. Kann noch zulegen. 17/20 2022 – 2036
