The brilliant 2005 Forsythe is a blend of 75% Mourvedre and 25% Syrah. Purchasers should not touch a bottle for 5-6 years as it is a monster in the making. An opaque ruby/purple color is followed by notes of blueberries, incense, licorice, forest floor, and underbrush. The complex aromatics lead to a meaty, full-bodied, powerful wine with mouth staining extract as well as mouth searing tannins. Very impressive, but patience is essential. (Not yet released)Tel.
