Top Notes For
5 hour decant. Iโve had a very tough time getting along with โ09 Napa Cabs, finding most to be quite tannic, dumb and lacking any kind of expression. This Dr. Crane suffered from none of that. From the perfumed nose of Asian spice and significant depth and purity of fruit to the black cherry, chocolate covered expresso beans and red cedar taste profile, this is very ready now but itโs still clearly on the rise....and yes that is a Halloween ๐ decoration on my fat lady sculpture
