When to drink this wine : Can be drunk now.

Tasted by Parker in 1994: "Tasted 3 times with consistent scores.Perhaps the best-kept secret in all of Bordeaux is the spectacular character of the 1950 vintage in Pomerol.Lafleur 1950 could easily pass for a 1947 or 1945 given its extraordinary level of concentration.The colour remains black/purple and the bouquet offers up aromas of cedar, spices and black fruits. The wine is incredibly concentrated, massively full and rich, with sweet tannins on the finish. With a viscous, chewy texture, this pure wine could easily last another 15-20 years."

What connoisseur of Pomerol wines would fail to savor a Château Lafleur?

Although this estate is appreciated by experts, it does not enjoy the same reputation as Château Le Pin or Pétrus. Is this due to its small vineyard area (4.5 hectares)? Probably, but ignoring Château Lafleur due to its modest size would be regrettable given the exceptional quality of this Pomerol wine.
