The 2016 Beckstoffer Dr. Crane remains true to the unflinching and potent character of this special site. A striking personality replete with black and red currants, violet, plum chutney, and bittersweet chocolate is supported by a firm foundation of seductive, dusty tannins and a mouth-coating texture. A 30 minute decant reveals an additional expanse of savory-sweet herbs, torrefaction, and mocha accents to deliver a deeply gratifying, long-lasting finish.
