Sunday, July 17, 2022 - Deep, inky black. Dense, hard to penetrate aromas. Rough up front on the palate. The back end does exhibit complexity and nuance. Atypically Californian for Ric Forman.
I suggest decanting for a couple of hours or perhaps have a glass out of the bottle and drink the rest on the following day. Trust me, it will last.
I believe this is best drunk over the next 3-5 years. My fear is that what little fruit there is will completely disappear over time.
