ROBERT PARKER'S WINE ADVOCATE
100

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2012 Le Desir (64 Cabernet Franc, 24 Merlot, 8 Cabernet Sauvignon and 4 Malbec) reminds me of a young vintage of Ausone, such as 2005. The wine has amazing minerality and an explosive blueberry nose intermixed with blackberries, new saddle leather, charcoal and camphor. It is full-bodied, with espresso notes emerging on the palate. There are 1,900 cases of this super-endowed, prodigious wine that should drink well for 35-40 years. How fun it would be for mega-millionaires to put this in a blind tasting of a great vintage of Ausone in 10, 20 or 30 years from now.
