The 2009 Ausone boasts a luxurious aroma profile combinig blackberry, raspberry, rose petal, and orange blossom. With aeration, the wine evolves into a blend of liquorice and menthol notes after a few minutes. The palate, marked by fine tannins, is medium-bodied and exhibits a sleek, tensile quality. While not overpowering, this 2009 vintage impresses with its purity of red fruit flavours, leaving a lingering impression with an almost understated finish.
