Decanted for about a couple hours. Needs about 3-4 at least in the decanter to really come alive. For a weaker vintage of this wine it's really still quite enjoyable despite being pretty tight. Will hold next bottle for several more years.

decent enough but also tongue-purplingly tannic. If I want a wine like this I wouldn't be reaching into the Bordeaux basket.

Opened two bottles of this because the first was corked so bad you could smell it across the room! Second bottle much better and very enjoyable.

Great Dehlinger wine (as usual) but doesn't stand out from the other bottlings so the price point is a little bit high for me.

Interesting to compare my notes from this bottle to the one I had in 2017. It's been forgotten in the cellar for the past 6 years and time has served it well. It's much more integrated now and doesn't have those thick jammy overtones I noted before. Much improved.

Wasn't nearly as good as the 2019 but this bottle was also a bit of a leaker so perhaps that had something to do with it. Can't give it a fair rating.
