Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate

(10-1994)
Tasted 5 times with consistent notes. The 1950 is a remarkably rich, still youthful wine from this fabulous vintage in Pomerol. The color remains an amazing garnetpurple, and the nose offers sensationally ripe, chocolatey, cassis aromas intertwined with herbs, licorice, Asian spices and coffee. Extremely full-bodied with port-like viscosity similar to the 1947, this blockbuster wine must be one of the least-known profound wines of the century.
