  I just picking up these bottles through a friend that's retiring from the wine trade, I was itching to pull the first bottle from the collection.
  
  Single owner provenance. Perfect cork condition. Floral with sweet tannins with secondary notes at PNP. Baked strawberry red fruits with hints of plum. The slightest tertiary flavors as the wine was opening up. This was fantastic for the price paid.
  
  In a great spot to open now as I'm sure the fruit will only continue to fade at this point of the journey but will continue to age gracefully for another decade plus.

  30 minutes of air. Candied blackberries and black cherries on the nose with touch of menthol. On the palate the jammy black fruits were not candied but did provide some nice touches of eucalyptus, sweet Oak, and cassis. Very smooth with a 20 second finish.

  Slow ox 2 hours. Dark color core to rim. Loads of black fruits on nose but also some green veggies, in a good way. On palate much of the same in waves. Very smooth - velvety. Some sweet Oak. A very interesting wine with a 30 second finish.

  Big and overripe fruit driven wine, but not a fruit bomb. It reminded me of some Foley productions and not as much as some other Forman vintages I've had. Very smooth and enjoyable. Almost no sediment to speak of and in a few more years I expect some complexity out of it as the secondary elements are just lurking in the background right now.
