Ric Forman's 1990 Chardonnay is extremely tightly knit, offering backward and subtle aromas of lemons, wood, and apples. In the mouth, there is plenty of fruit, excellent richness, and fine acidity, but the wine needs another 4-6 months to open up. It should drink well for 1-3 years. Incidentally, I also tasted Forman's 1990 Pinot Noir, of which only 100 cases were made. No release date had been set, but I must say that the big, gamey, earthy, oriental spice-scented nose reveals more than a casual resemblance to the profound bouquets offered by the Pinot Noir made by France's Domaine de la Romanee-Conti. In the mouth, the wine is medium-bodied. While not quite as profound as the nose suggested, it is still excellent Pinot Noir. Bravo!
