BUY THE WINE

James Lawther: This wine has enormous charm—not always a characteristic attached to youthful Ausone. Dense, dark fruit with a minerally vibrancy and lift. Oak completely absorbed. Sumptuous texture—smooth, plush, and velvety, but with vitality again. Fine-grained tannins to match the exquisite purity of fruit. Great balance, length, and focus. Drink 2020–45. 19
