2002 Dehlinger Goldridge

[winoweenie]

WOW!!! Clear, brite, lite ruby. The lightest colored Dehlinger PN I've ever experienced. Extremely Bordeaux-Like. Earthy, strawberry, leather, barnyard nose that comes over on the palate. Have no earthly ideer how long this sucker will hold but is sure drinking keen at the present. Completely atypical for a RRV Pinot. 89/89 35 by the box. 14.6% alc. WW

Nothing has changed with this bottle. Am still amazed by the extraction on this wine comparared with ALL other pinots I've had from Tom. Time will tell on this hummer. WW No cahnge in scoring.

Kick this baby up to a 90. Nose has expanded and the finish extended to a solid 4 lapper. Seems like I found more tannins in this than the last bottle. Still will need at least 2-4 more to completely peak. WW

Still on the ascendancy. Nose seems to be expanding as does the brite fruit. Am still amazed every time I open a bottle and see the color. Looks like a Burgandy fer sure. Still no change in scoring. WW

Visited another bottle last nite. Nose is like walking by a candy-store/florist combination. Still some silky tannins that aren't intrusive at all. No chaange in scoring. WW
