{"product_id":"ausone-1988","title":"Ausone 1988","description":"Ausone 1988 is a mature-vintage Right Bank Bordeaux red wine from the St-Emilion appellation. Ausone is situated on the western edge of Saint-Emilion and ranked in the highest possible category for quality – Premier Grand Cru Classe (A). Producing around 2,000 cases a year from around 7 hectares of vines, the wine is usually an equal split of Cabernet Franc and Merlot. \"Bottle proffered for my birthday. Deep garnet core with faint, thin dark brick rim. The nose is quite spicy, earthy and Graves in style. Burnt toast, turning more mulberry-ish with aeration. The palate is tannic at first but becomes more rounded with notes of blueberries and cassis. Backward but focused and very long. A bit frayed on the finish, a touch of volatility. A very fine Ausone that needs another 3-5 years to reach its peak.\" Neal Martin, 2004","brand":"Chateau Ausone","offers":[{"title":"Duty Paid","offer_id":62429019603274,"sku":"HED99553","price":400.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/7696\/2634\/files\/HED99553.jpg?v=1781916621","url":"https:\/\/hedonism.co.uk\/products\/ausone-1988","provider":"Hedonism Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
