Laville Haut Brion Blanc Dinner (Tocqueville): Vibrant and expansive nose that stands out from the rest of the flight. Apricot and mango. Highly expressive. Really something unique. Smoky beeswax and candle wick. The fruit is still quite tropical. Lush and mouth coating palate. Bone dry. The richness and finish is reminiscent of top Montrachets, but with a distinct smoke. The ‘52, ‘48, ‘42 flight is very strong.

The Best Vintages of LMHB vs HB plus some extras (Restaurant Hohenzollern in Bad Neuenahr/Ahrweiler): Laville Haut Brion 1948 Das intensive Bouquet erinnert an einen reifen Yquem, dunkle goldene Farbe. Für mich in der Nase nasser Stein als Assoziation für weissen Bordeaux. Honig, Wachs, Botrytis geprägter Jahrgang, noch immer sehr präsente Säure, Alkohol etwas spürbar, im Abgang Karamell und Toffee, 94P
