Wine Information

FOR THE FIRST TIME ON A LABEL – THE RAM

The Monacan artist Georges Arnulf was a graduate of the famous Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris and even as a young graphic artist he had developed captivating skills. He was awarded the Grand Prix de Rome in 1950 for his technically demanding etchings. In that same year, he was commissioned by Baron Philippe de Rothschild to design a label for Mouton. Arnulf was the first artist to choose the motif of t...

Vintage 1950

Looking more closely at the decade, attention should also be drawn to the 1950 Bordeaux vintage, which offered more quantity than quality - with a few exceptions. Due to the relatively rainy summer, expectations for the year were not very high, but the change in weather at the end of the year made it a good year, and even excellent in some areas.

Written Notes

Another perfect-looking bottle. The level was by the neck. Decanted for only 30 minutes. A bright, ruby red colour with relatively little sign of development. At the start the nose was a bit blocked, but after 30 minutes it opened with an intense bouquet of blackcurrant and other black fruits, with hints of vanilla. Round and neat, but maybe not as fleshy and loaded as I remembered. A little too light and short aftertaste. Somewhat lighter and drier than the other two 1950s I had tasted last year. However, it is always a lovely and pleasant experience!
