The 2019 Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Cabernet Sauvignon from Bevan is a brilliant encore to last years perfect wine. This majestic wine is nothing short of intoxicating as it opens to seductive aromas of blueberries and dark currants with roasted coffee, loam, graphite, tobacco, sweet spices, chocolate and fresh violets all taking shape in the glass. On the palate this possesses a gorgeous textural richness with remarkable overall balance and structure. Beautifully polished tannins lead the way as this displays remarkable depth and concentration with lovely underlying acidity keeping it fresh and inviting through the opulent finish. Everything is perfectly in place, as this is like a well-oiled machine running on all cylinders. The 2019 Dr. Crane is a wonderful wine to approach early in its evolution and will surely have a long graceful evolution ahead.
