Petrus - Pomerol 1950 (Label Damaged) Volume:750ML it still stood out forIt 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.

Massive and rich, with spectacular color saturation and the sweet, unctuous texture Petrus obtains in ripe years
