I have been critical of some of Forman's Cabernet Sauvignons in the decade of the eighties for not developing the aromatic complexity and intensity I had expected. The 1985 would also benefit from a more complex bouquet, but it was hard not to like its flashy display of ripe blackcurrant fruit and spicy oak. Medium to full-bodied, pure, clean, and well-focused, this oenologically correct wine exhibits plenty of depth, ripeness, and character. Still young, it should last for another 10-15+ years. If more pleasing aromatics develop, this wine could merit an outstanding rating.
