Note di degustazione
Served blind by Arif Babayev at Trivet. Sourced in Switzerland apparently. What a rarity! What a thoughtful treat from my birth year. Ruby. Very sweet and obviously very old but still lively. I initially thought burgundy, then Rioja! Sweet and fresh. Lighter-bodied than I would have expected. Slightly cheesy on the nose at first but it freshened up in the glass to become quite intensely rich. I see I don’t have a note on this wine in our database, and in the 1950s Petrus was virtually unknown outside France and Belgium. Even Michael Broadbent has only one note on this wine, taken in 1990 in Stockholm. (JR)

Tasted 3 Times With Consistent Notes 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 Petrus obtains in ripe years, this wine will last for another 20-30 years.
