Tasted 3 Times With Consistent NotesPerhaps the greatest kept secret in all of Bordeaux is how spectacular the 1950 vintage was in Pomerol. The 1950 Lafleur could easily pass for a 1947 or 1945 wine given its extraordinary level of concentration. The color remains black/purple, and the bouquet offers aromas of cedar, spices, and black fruits. The wine is unbelievably concentrated, massively full and rich, with sweet tannin in the finish. With a viscous, chewy texture, this pure wine could easily last for another 15-20 years.

Tasted from magnum. Superdeep, with pronounced vanilla character from the oak, this is a thick wine, with totally smooth tannins and lovely cassis, black cherry and mocha. Grew more and more complex in the glass.--Chateau Lafleur vertical. Drink now through 2020. -PM
