Alas, a final hurrah in which to say, “Fare thee well, Del Frisco’s Grille!”

As for the wine itself, really delicious and seductively powerful with loads of potential for the coming years. A bit more feminine than the To Kalon, the MH has some finesse and sensual elegance that makes it less of a Lamborghini and more of a Ferrari. Lots of licorice, plum, blackberry, and cassis. I had the waitress pop the cork and pour me a glass for my steak, but I stopped at one glass. I’ll be taking this selection home to see how it evolves over the next day (or two).

EDIT: Day two and this wine is on fire 🔥So delicious. Much more balanced; it’s like it knows its own identity now. — 6 years ago

Sangiovese, Merlot. Funky on the back end. Round. Balanced tannin. — 12 years ago
Delicious thick with low acid, apples, chamoy, and almost a lambec beer style funk. Even though I used to work in banking this one reminds me of that hipster girl that might skip a few showers and overcompensate with patchouly oil but watching her smile is like the sun rising and the curves make you want to buy a Lamborghini. Bright, and round in ways that defy Euclidean geometry. Very delicious. — 4 years ago

Last night with great friends
Ridiculously delicious cab from Napa blend and Realm
I have had three years of past vintages of this wine and amazingly every year it gets better - bravo Benoit and Juan
Just a small decant and bam - color is that dependable stunning purple like a new purple on an exotic Lamborghini
The smell is rich like the feeling you get when smell fresh baked homemade chocolate chip cookies and you were 8 years old
The palette is just stunning - like the stunning feeling I got when my Red Sox won the World Series after losing three games but came back to take the final four games in 2004 - prefection in a bottle
The legs are the sexy stiletto shaped legs for a wine that you could not imagine - Marilyn Monroe would be jealous
Drink it if you got it and if not get it - it might get better over time but why wait - seriously — 6 years ago
First few sips = a bit underwhelming. Much better once opens up. Good value as a bin end. — 10 years ago

Smooth, smooth, smooth like the leather in my Lamborghini (don’t I wish!!). Dry and well balanced. Nice by itself and great with wood-fire pizza! — 3 years ago
