November 15, 2018 - From magnum. Dark and dirty. Hot asphalt in summer. Young, vigorous with reasonable energetic acidity on the finish. Deep, rich and persistent on the palate. 97-98

December 20, 2016 - The Best Vintages of LMHB vs HB plus some extras (Restaurant Hohenzollern in Bad Neuenahr/Ahrweiler): LMHB 1945
In der Nase viel schwarzer Tee, eher Milch- als Bitterschokolade, zusätzlich Noten von Torf. Am Gaumen süßlicher Extrakt, dicht und konzentriert. Mit der Zeit entwickeln sich Leder und Madeira ohne seine karamellierten Töne anzunehmen. Die feine Säure gibt ihm die nötige Frische. Er wirkt medizinaler als sein Nachbar. 95P
