A perfect bubbly for Christmas brunch. Fantastic, actually! Dry and lean, frothy bubbles, apples, pears, toasted almonds, marzipan. Merry Christmas friends!

Fruit forward and well balanced. Raspberry cassis through and through. Nose and taste are aligned. Solid wine, at the average price point in the US and EU there may be better values to be had. — 6 months ago

2021 vintage. Phenomenal value. Medium heavy body. Spicy conversation amongst fruit-driven interplay. Substantial but not deal-breaking tannins. 12.10.25. — 5 months ago

Always love the wines from LdH and this is no exception. Very nice at just over 20 years of age. Definitely secondary, no need to wait longer. Opened for a few hours before service but no decant. Red berry fruit, nice seamlessness, great acid and a long finish. Perfect pairing with roast chickens on Thanksgiving part 2. — 6 months ago

Splash decanted directly before service; enjoyed over the course of a few hours out of red Solo cups. The 1981 Gran Reserva Blanco pours, a golden color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of Khalas dates, dried apricot, black lemon, almonds, toasted coconut and marshmallow. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and the texture is waxy. A cerebral wine and just lovely stuff. Well stored bottles have a long life yet left ahead. Drink now with patience and plenty of air and through 2051. — 7 months ago
