Wow, what a brilliant wine after 20 years. Red cherry, black cherry, and blackberry fruit. Wonderful core with notes of leather, tobacco, cigar box, dusty earth, spice, cocoa, and cedar. Great balance and structure still after all these years. Nice acidity, soft tannins and wonderful long finish. This is great right now but as is typical of all Forman wines, this will be good for years to come.

This was drinking fantastically. Tasted at least 10 years younger than it was. Still vibrant fruit and a solid backbone, tannin still present. Could go another 5-7 years.

Lovely mature cab drinking just beautifully. Dragged this to Florida for January and PNP with broiled lamb chops and the wine was soft and well fruited but not tired or fading...really delish and tasted another glass the next night after a dinner of grilled grouper and the wine was just lovely...$65..those were the days although even now not much more than $100 vs all the other Napa ego projects

My last bottle of 24. This wine is still drinking well. The fruit has faded but lots of secondary flavors and a pleasant acidity remain. Drink
