I guess it could be if you like your wines to have that element of maturity. But does it need age due to skull crunching tannins, non-integrated acidity or undeveloped flavors? I don't think so. If anything, it seems like the perfect Cabernet Sauvignon to drink this summer. But your preferences for old or young wine should guide your decision, of course.
4/25/23, 7:42 PM - Right. And to be clear, I wasn't - and would never - suggest that this wine won't age. It is not going to fall apart tomorrow or anytime in the next ten years. I would just ask what someone is looking for this wine to do with age that it isn't doing now. But that is a different question, I suppose.

9/26/22, 3:06 PM - I am not a winemaker so your desire that I repent is misplaced. Still, I have spent a lifetime in wine and have never seen ANYONE - even Gallo - spray as much as biodynamic vineyard managers during rainy months, watching them in Volnay and Sonoma just covering vines in obscene amounts of copper sulfate are memories I will not soon forget. HahaThat said, despite being more scientifically oriented than spiritual and despite being DEEPLY skeptical of anything that sprung from the mind of Steiner, I happily enjoy many biodynamic wines like this one.Take care and be well.

Congratulations on your new position. If ever need someone to write reviews I promise I can use more articulate terms than "super classic."

9/27/17, 9:56 PM - @walkerjfw: The 2013s with really brutal tannins are coming from mountain sites, at least in my experience. The reason to hold the 2013 Forman would be to allow for the development of tertiary flavors, not to dodge tannins.

Thanks for letting us know about this problem. We will review your comments and be in touch soon with an update.
