March 28, 2024 - The aroma is all encompassing, rich, and ever enduring. Notes of bees wax, cheese rind, butter, flowers, and a soft apple-like acidity.
The mouthfeel is rich and oily. Opens creamy, butter and hazelnuts. Then comes acidity, bitterness, but the creaminess lingers. Astonishing!1 person found this helpful Comment -

March 14, 2024 - PnP and consumed over a couple of days. Trademark LdH white profile, mature and intense flavors, dried peaches on palate, profound, oily, very complex, mouth coating, and adjectives could go on... It's a great wine and it's the whites where LdH shines the most. Outstanding and still a bargain at 40€. Very enjoyable now and could last more years.

December 26, 2023 - A year after the prior, and our sixth of this lovely vintage: Fabulous again. And once more, a cornucopia of flavors — including creamy savory marzipan — backed up with fabulous acidity. What an amazing creature, extremely enjoyable over four nights.

October 22, 2023 - Last had this more or less one year ago exactly, and now checked in again. Compared to then, this has gained a bit in intensity and power. This tasted like nuts, apple, wax, lemon peel, coffee and spices, and was absolutely inhaled by us. Ifyou have multiple, it's time to check in!
