Note di degustazione
(12.9% alcohol): Healthy youthful red. Knockout nose melds cherry, mulberry, coffee, leather and eucalyptus, plus a balsamic suggestion of nutty oak. Glossy, seamless and wonderfully elegant in the mouth, with perfectly integrated acidity infusing this wine with outstanding verve. At once juicy and horizontal, finishing with fine-grained tannins, subtle sweetness and a whiplash of fruit. The grapes ripened early in 1991, noted Forman. Impeccably balanced Napa Cabernet with real class.

From The Purple Notebook – California Dinner at Gidleigh Park. Floral, aromatic. Quite light with marked acidity. Quite distinctive and elegant. Definitely different from the prevailing Napa-Cab style today. (JR)
Forman's 1991 Cabernet Sauvignon (packaged in a heavy, broad-shouldered bottle) may be the most impressive Cabernet he has made. The wine's softer, fleshier palate suggests a lighter hand in acidification. The saturated black/ruby/purple color is followed by copious aromas of wonderfully rich and ripe cassis, intertwined with vague mineral and vanilla scents. Full-bodied, with terrific richness, layers of fruit, and a multidimensional personality, this gorgeously made, opulent Cabernet Sauvignon can be drunk now or cellared for 15-20 years.
