In fact, while tasting it, I was thinking, is there any estate in Bordeaux that, since 1998, has made as many legendary wines as proprietor Alain Vauthier has at his beloved Ausone? Boasting an inky\/blue\/purple color as well as an extraordinary, precise bouquet of minerals, flowers, blueberry liqueur, and black currants, this wine possesses fabulous fruit and great intensity, but what makes it so special is its precision, focus, and almost ethereal lightness despite substantial flavor intensity and depth. It is a ballerina with density and power. The abundant noticeable tannin is sweet and, not surprisingly, very finely grained. It should be cellared for a decade, and consumed over the following half century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Thief","offers":[{"title":"Case of 6","offer_id":32747749441645,"sku":"22207","price":21675.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bottle","offer_id":32802938847341,"sku":"22207","price":3610.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0248\/6714\/3789\/products\/Ausone_8d1225bc-7e6a-42fc-8bf3-90194de20c40.jpg?v=1592323689"},{"product_id":"cheval-blanc-2009-0-75l","title":"Cheval Blanc 2009","description":"\u003cp\u003e60% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp\u003eRobert Parker: 99, Neal Martin: 98, James Suckling: 99\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp\u003eRobert Parker: It will be fascinating to follow the evolution of the 2009 Cheval Blanc versus the 2010 as well as the awesome 2005, 2000, 1998 and 1990.

Unlike the Deuxi̬me Vin, there is real structure and backbone here, a gentle but insistent grip in the mouth. It errs towards black instead of red fruit, intermingling with sage and cumin, then segueing into a precise finish with a long, lingering ferrous finish (ÌÊ la Pomerol!), finally a hint of oyster shell on the aftertaste.

The selection was incredibly severe with only 45% of the crop being utilized. A tight, but potentially gorgeous nose of graphite, black currants, licorice and camphor is followed by a full-bodied wine revealing the classic elegance, purity and delineated style of Lafite. It is phenomenally concentrated with softer tannins than the 2005, the 2003's voluptuous, broad, juicy personality, and low acidity. There are several vintages that I thought were a replay of their colossal 1959, most notably 1982 and 2003, but 2009 is also one to keep an eye on.

It was a good year for Cabernet Sauvignon, which took the leading role with a 72% in the final blend alongside 19% Carmenere (a grape that tends to suffer in cooler years), 6% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot and 1% Merlot. It had a classical vinification in stainless steel and an ̩levage of 18 months in 74% new French barriques. In the last few years, the blend comes from approximately two-thirds older vines (37-years-old) and one-third from younger ones (11-years-old); for other parts of the world, this might seem young, but in this part of Chile where the vines do not tend to have a long life, they are relatively old. 2013 was also a higher yielding vintage, which somehow helped produce balanced juice. The wine is fresher and more fluid, not as concentrated as previous vintages. It has a subtle nose with very nicely integrated spicy aromas from the ̩levage. The palate is very approachable, soft and velvety, with very good balance and a fine texture because of the very fine tannins. In a way it reminds me of the texture of the 2006, which is possibly the most Burgundian of their vintages. Yes, it's still a baby, but a baby that is approachable from now on, and should have a long life and development in bottle. 165,000 bottles were filled between January 5th and 14th of 2015.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Thief","offers":[{"title":"Case of 6","offer_id":32747751014509,"sku":"4719","price":8140.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bottle","offer_id":32802871378029,"sku":"4719","price":1355.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0248\/6714\/3789\/products\/Almaviva_9690a746-c13e-4d99-b6ed-d06cf8acdb8f.jpg?v=1592322697"},{"product_id":"almaviva-2014-0-75l","title":"Almaviva 2014","description":"\u003cp\u003e68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Carmenere, 8% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRobert Parker: 94, James Suckling: 97\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRobert Parker: The current release is the 2014 Almaviva, the classical Bordeaux blend from Puente Alto, one of the most prestigious appellations in Maipo. This is a late and slow ripening terroir. This was the reason why the frost of September 2013 didn't affect them, because the vines had not yet sprouted. In the last few years they have been on a quest in search of more purity, precision and character, improving the quality of the tannins to make them silkier without losing length and volume. It's easier said than done, but they are getting there. The harvest started on April 1st with the first Merlot and finished on May 16th with the last Carmenere. The final blend is 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Carmenere, 8% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot; they didn't use any Merlot this time. After a sorting of bunches and individual grains, the grapes fermented in stainless steel tanks, some with native yeasts, others with selected ones. Malolactic was in oak barrel or tank, especially in warmer years. The ̩levage was in 77% new French oak barrels, the remaining ones second use, and it lasted 18 months. 180,000 bottles were produced. There is one single lot that was bottled between January 6th and 20th of 2016. I retasted the 2012 and 2013 for comparison, and they are developing as expected, showing the character of the vintages. 2012 was warmer and riper, an early, warm vintage, harvested two weeks before average. 2013 was the opposite, a late and cool harvest with bigger bunches and higher yield.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Thief","offers":[{"title":"Case of 6","offer_id":32747929174125,"sku":"4725","price":7780.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Bottle","offer_id":32802872393837,"sku":"4725","price":1295.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0248\/6714\/3789\/products\/Almaviva_0af95869-fa2d-4ad5-bcc8-9dc9ea255a2b.jpg?v=1592322700"},{"product_id":"angelus-2017-0-75l","title":"Angelus 2017","description":"\u003cp\u003e70% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp\u003eNeal Martin: 93, James Suckling: 97\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp\u003eNeal Martin: The 2017 Ang̩lus was bottled later than many Right Bank wines, in fact just 10 days prior to my visit in late September '19.

I imagine the 2013 may even eclipse this, but this 2012 is one of their great ones, with a seamless integration of acidity, tannin, alcohol and wood all present in this beautiful, full-bodied wine that should drink well for 25-30 years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Thief","offers":[{"title":"Case of 6","offer_id":32747836440685,"sku":"4308","price":20615.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bottle","offer_id":32803204431981,"sku":"4308","price":3435.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0248\/6714\/3789\/products\/OpusOne_d204d0bf-eab5-4e29-8fb9-ec9c24a12550.jpg?v=1592412692"},{"product_id":"palmer-2012-0-75l","title":"Palmer 2012","description":"\u003cp\u003e48% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRobert Parker: 96, James Suckling: 97\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRobert Parker: Chateau Palmer is one of the vintage's superstars.

The finest young Cristal in decades, the wine wafts from the glass with a pure and vibrant bouquet of crisp orchard fruit, clear honey, warm brioche, citrus zest and white flowers. On the palate, it's full-bodied, intense and incisive, with superb concentration, racy acids and a long, searingly chalky finish.

This is an unreservedly understated First Growth, more masculine then I remember from barrel and just after bottling, firming up a little for the long-haul. In some ways, the higher Cabernet Sauvignon renders this a little more Pauillac-like in flavour profile, although it has the finesse that is synonymous with this estate. Excellent.

The bouquet demands a lot of coaxing before revealing scents of black cherries, blueberry, hints of cassis and crushed violet petals. It is powerful on the nose but I appreciate the contribution of the increased proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon, imparting cedar and pencil box tones. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins. This is a well-built, an almost stocky Pavie with firm backbone, again, courtesy of the Cabernet, lightly spiced.
