Ch. AUSONE 1976 $389 / btle
"The finest Ausone of the seventies, and along with Lafite-Rothschild of Pauillac, one of the two outstandingly great wines of this vintage, the 1976 Ausone is indeed a profound wine. It is a winemaking triumph for this difficult vintage. Anticipated maturity: now-2010."

Ch. AUSONE 1982 $1,181 / btle
"Enormously constituted, with massive quantities of both extract and tannin, this powerful, still backward wine should prove to be one of the greatest Ausones made in the post-World War II era. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2040."

Ch. AUSONE 1989 $596 / btle
"This is a medium to full-bodied, backward 1989, possessing a haunting underlying mineral character that seems to be a characteristic of this property's greatest vintages. Those readers who possess a millionaire's income and the cozy trade connections necessary to buy Ausone should be prepared to wait a good 25 years minimum for this wine to reach its apogee. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2035."

Ch. AUSONE 1990 $705 / btle
"I predict that over the next 25 years the 1990 will develop into the best Ausone since the 1982 and 1983. It has a deep ruby color, excellent richness, an exotic, kinky, oriental spice component, and a rich, mineral-like, tightly knit, backward character, as well as admirable concentration and length. I prefer it to the impressive 1989. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2040".

Ch. AUSONE 1995 $735 / btle
"Ausone's extraordinary minerality is present in the 1995, yet there are more aromatics, a richer, more multidimensional palate impression, and a fuller texture - all with the terroir brilliantly expressed. Given its backward style, this wine will require 5-7 years of cellaring, and will age at a glacial pace for 30-40 years. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2045."

Ch. AUSONE 1998 $1,230/ btle
A huge, backward Ausone, the 1998 will require a decade or more of cellaring. The impressively saturated purple color is followed by intense aromas of black fruits, crushed stones, and flowers. In the mouth, it is rich and weighty, with superb potential.

MAGNUM Ch. AUSONE 1983 $794 / btle
"This wine continues to evolve more quickly than other vintages of Ausone. This means there is a chance its owners will live to consume it. Rich and fleshy, but with considerable underlying tannin, this sumptuous, precociously-styled Ausone can be drunk today. It should keep for at least 25-30 more years."
