  First bottle of 6-pack OWC - purchased on release.
  First pour: Raspberry candy on the nose and almost sweet mid-palate. Gorgeous wine. However, did not improve with decanting. I'm going to give it another year before I try the next one.

  Pop and pour. Showing beautifully, full bodied and fine tannins. Not as much charred earth as some wines from this excellent vineyard but really well done.

  This is truly world class. Better every hour over 5+ hours. Met every expectation. Merry Christmas!

  Extraordinary! Paired up with several Dr. Crane predominant wines. Memento Mori, Myriad and Hobbs were among the top. But the Hobbs and Memento Mori (same vintage) stood out as WOTN. The Hobbs was decanted for two hours and then re bottled and tasted. Haven't had a wine that hit me on this level in a good long while. All the components are there with incredible aromas and taste.
