Dark and brooding, semi transparent, still youthful.

Restrained bouquet at first but after 1 hour of thorough decanting, it decided to wake up. Cassis, toasted cedar wood, lovely tobacco and tea leaf undertone.

The palate gives away quite good amount of tannin remaining. Nice balance of acidity. More dark than red fruit. A lot of secondary characters start to come out. Finish strongly on the cedary/woodsy note.

For a second wine in a heralded vintage (i.e. usually not good), this is a success. Has staying power to keep going for 5 more years easily. If pop now, need a long decanting time. It's in that very sleepy phase. 90+ — 9 years ago

Lots of potential here buried under youth. Smoky tobacco and fresh tar, black fruits. Locks up on the mid palate to the finish so this is going into or coming out of a sleepy phase. — 10 years ago

A bit sleepy, but very nicely balanced, smooth velvety texture, intense blueberries, and a hint of smoke. — 11 years ago

Bright sharp cherry with a bit of earth. Nicely lean, not jammy. Hides its 14.8% abv. Could stand with a good Sonoma Coast or richer Willamette Valley. I'd say yes. — 9 years ago

Not as good as the 98 but still pretty enjoyable showing lots of the qualities of an older mature wine with ripe tanins and mature fruit - good bit of richness for a Pinot — 10 years ago

As you see the cork is perfect. I've had this in my cellar for years and decided it was time. At first he nose had a cork smell but now after being open for 4 hours it's a different wine. Pear, apricot, nectarine, and good acid. Not like I'm ever going to have anymore of this so #fugetaboutit — 10 years ago

Soaring aromas of spice and lemon followed by bright acid and structure. Gorgeous texture and a precise, long finish. Seven years old and this is a current release! This is what Chardonnay should be. — 11 years ago

One of the greatest - Kept in the same cellar and optimal conditions along the years - decanted, at first sight a bit sleepy, then started to reveal a slight gamey tone - then opened itself to uncover a delicious, juicy, classy pinot, fresh and complex 😉 — 13 years ago

Dark red fruit nose. Super ripe black cherry, blackberry, then light spice, like white pepper, and a little bit of funk. Clean on the palette. Very drinkable. Had on jun 29 2016. — 10 years ago

Love me some Forrest Wines 'The Doctors' Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc this time year!
Instead of reaching for those sleepy time, high octane reds, why not something fresh & crunchy reminiscent of dewy green grass, freshly sliced cantaloupe & perfectly ripened kiwi? At only 9%, and $18, I'm in! #certifiablydelish — 10 years ago
