Estimate
...notions of black forest cake, blackcurrant cordial, licorice and fertile loam with spice box, iron ore and sautéed herbs hints. Full-bodied and profoundly fruited with tons of earth, black fruit preserves and baking spice layers...solidly framed with grainy tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing with great length and expression.
...delivers rewarding complexity and contour within a framework of firm, substantial tannins and stark structure. Leather, grilled meat and gunpowder complement tangy layers of acid-driven cassis and red currant, combining effortlessly in a seamless array of evolving flavors and aromas. The minerality takes form in a sensation of crushed rock.
...huge, opulent, sweetly fruited effort...incredible amounts of crème de cassis, blueberries, white chocolate, roasted herbs, and licorice, as well as a damp earth and a gravelly, riverbed-like minerality. Opulent, hedonistic and beautifully ripe (not over-ripe, or under-ripe), it has sweet, supple tannins that are largely concealed behind a wealth of fruit.
...dialed in with a dark-fruit and crushed-stone character... Full-bodied and focused. Bright and solid.
Spicy cedar and sandalwood scents lead to a fresh, fleshy, juicy core of cherry, plum and dark berry flavors, charming and graceful.
...deep, bold and sumptuous...the flavors decidedly lean towards the darker end of the spectrum... Black cherry, espresso, coffee and dark spice notes flesh out in this supple, deep Cabernet... This is an especially plush, flamboyant Crane.
