1999 Dehlinger Goldridge

[winoweenie]

The little bro to the Estate that follows the style and quality delevoped by Tom. Clear ruby, nose of cherries, vanilla, spices, and forest floor. Nice entry, solid center, and a 3&3/4 lapper finish. Balanced with still a modicum of tannins will take another 1-3 to modify. 89/88. 32 by the box. 14.3% alc. WW

Had aanother bottle with lunch yesterday. Nose has evolved slightly but still needs another 1-2 to peak. No change in scoring. WW

This hummer has developed into a loverly bunch-a'-coconuts. Expressive nose that has added a tad of leathery, barnyardy notes. Still lotas of fruit and blueberry highlites. At the top of its' game. Finish out to 4+-lappers. 90/89. Should hold for another 5 with good storage. WW

Opened another of these babies last nite while I still had some semblance of remembraance of the Octogan in me feeble head. Not much change since last bottle except the nose seemed slightly more expressive. No change in scoring. WW
