Great, elegant cab franc. Not as strong varietal identity as other modern Argentine francs - the graphite taste is more subtle. Dry, elegant, fairly tannic, red fruit. Excellent wine. — 7 years ago

Surprinsgly good, fresh and elegant, with a good complexity, showing a mix of fresh and dried red fruit, the tell tale soubouis and mineral notes gives this wine its well deserved identity. A nice development in the glass. Good balance and structure. At five years of age the wine drinks very well and is not in need of any further aging — 8 years ago

What? Happy canyon SB? I don't know if it has any identity, as I have nothing to judge it against. But it's all sorts of green melon, pomelo, and maybe some oak? Wasn't expecting it, but there might be some barrel here. Worth a try. — 10 years ago

Really good Syrah, tasted plums and maybe dark berries. Easy to drink and enjoy. Plus, it’s made by Drew Bledsoe so...win/win! — 6 years ago

Swiss wine which has very much of a Northern Rhône identity. Great value wine which should age well. Very good. — 9 years ago

A reminder that these were all tasted blind and as it turned out the fabled Romanee Conti was first. My notes - Lovely sexy nose of violets. Ripe yet restrained - aristocratic. Minerally, savoury with an incredible long finish. Fine tannins but will blossom. Actually my least pointed wine in the 6 Vosne Romanee Grand Crus. I'm sure it would not have been had I known its identity! — 9 years ago

Brut non vintage bought in Caves de Forum, Reims for €26 This was a really dry, focused champagne (brut nature zero dosage) appealing bright, rich and fruity. Vinous without losing it's champagne identity. Proof that accurate champagne can be produced in the marls of the Aube. — 10 years ago

Green and full of funk. This bottle, while still recognizable as burgundy, never took flight or held an identity. — 6 years ago

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. — 8 years ago

Found this one behind another one in storage. All I can say is....DAMN. This drinks like a Sangiovese that I paid 3x the amount for. Dense cedar and a little sweet blackberry. Smooth operator on the front and finish. A part of me is very sad this one was bought out by Kendall Jackson but I hope they kept their identity intact. Lilac and pepper finish. Immense. LOVED this wine. Almost gave it 95 but not quite there. I wish I had another case of this one! — 9 years ago

Dark ruby - almost Opaque. Colour of an Aussie Shiraz. Lovely perfume. Powerful palate with incredible depth and intensity. Ripe fruit. Everything there for a long life. Much surprise when the identity was revealed as a Charmes with many thinking it was the Dugat Py Mazis. — 9 years ago

Solid, and truly great for Cali SB. I always felt CA SB didn't have a sense of place...still kind of feel that way. This is great, but where would I place this? It's lost in the complete lack of identity, not by it's own fault. — 10 years ago
