Château Pétrus--Vintage 1950
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
Level: top shoulder; damaged capsule, very stained, bin soiled and dusty label, A. Lahon & Co. slip
"It was the extraordinary 1950 Petrus, along with the 1950 Lafleur, first served to me years ago by Jean-Pierre Moueix, that made me realize how spectacular this vintage must have been in Pomerol. The wine is still a young, mammothly-constituted Petrus that is less evolved than more recent knock-out vintages such as 1961. Massive and rich, with spectacular color saturation and the sweet, unctuous texture Pétrus obtains in ripe years, this wine will last for another 20-30 years." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #95 (Oct 1994)
