  See Rick 4 below. Classic Forman, it’s Napa cab but with a deftness of touch and enhanced complexity. Still my favourite Napa wine. I enjoyed it twice recently, but no rush.

  A 65th Birthday Celebration (Schur House - Riverwoods IL): Small glass. Rich aromatic start, less forthcoming flavors are much less giving or complete. Good now, unlikely to have further upside.

  Ric Forman makes some great “first growth” napa cabs. This wine is classic Ric, showing a little young here and demanding some slowOx/decanting. It comes together nieces and acidity prefers some fat for balance. I have a case of this, and I’ll wait another year or two before having the next one….if I can.

  What Napa quality delivers is unique. This was very good tonight, but it felt like it needed more bottle time. Very interesting snapshot of the evolution of a top wine, when the fruit becomes a bit more tart and austere on its way to its next stage. Makes you think :)

  Small US new arrivals tasting hosted by a merchant. Part of a Forman mini-vertical (2012-16). This was detailed and elegant with a nicely puristic fruit of sweet, red cherry, red currant and cranberry. Precise, nicely structured palate, although with grippy tannin. This needs more time, but will be getting there in 3-5 years. This was the winner of the line-up and should drink beautifully now with a proper decant (I’m guessing 2-3h).
