Massive wine that needs air time to open and show its full potential.

An amazing wine - beautiful representation of 2012 Dr Crane - what can I say but in other night it would win WOTN but not that night

Lots to like for a lot of people here. My wife's favorite of the trio. A little too much licorice and heat for me though. Very big!

WOTN: we all agreed that it's finish was extremely well rounded and lush and ever so slightly edged out Ovid's Hexameter.
However., we're splitting hairs at this point. Both are insanely awesome! 😍🍷🍷😍
