Aug 25th, 2018When I think Dr. Crane the first thing that comes to mind is graphite and the graphite component on the Hobbs comes through in full effect here. I catch some toasted oak, cassis, dark chocolate and something sweeter like date or fig. This is a silky wine with polish to spare.

This vintage continues to improve with age! Smooth on the palette but with tannic structure to avoid any flabbiness. Cassis, pebbles and graphite alongside pleasant oak notes that complement the presentation.

Really delicious! Loads of dark cherries and a hint of milk chocolate. Very powerful, yet still very approachable. Just lovely.
