Brite ruby without bricking. Lovely earthy, mushroom, cherry, floral, and spicy nose that comes over on the palate. Smooth entry, medium center and a solid 4-lapper finish. Seems to be at the top of its game without a trace of tannins. Will hold another 3-6.WW 90/90. 32 on futures. 14.5% alc. As usual Dehlinger has produced a vinner.

Found this poor lil' orphan whilst trolling the cellar. Expressive nose becomes dominant in 5 minutes with loads of red fruit, leather, some saddle soap and horsey notes that complete the stable. Not much to complete this bottle. Super RRV Pinot. Lots lost in translation as I developed a nasty cold-flue-chicken-hickey 5 minutes after opening. Still showed breeding. WW

This is there guys&dolls. Nose has developed beautifully with just the rite amount of barn,-old saddle leather,-tip-toe-thru-the-forest, along with a passle of mature berries to keep your attention from the first pour to the last tongue-in-the-glass lick. A really lovely effort from the mighty Thomas. Kick this hummer up to 91. WW
