Seems the perfect time to drink this wine. We did not decant. Tannins are present but smooth. Notes of spice and boysenberry. very nice nose and good finish. We will drink our last bottle soon and will be sad to see this vintage exhausted.

Decanted for 1 hour. A wonderful Pinot!!! Great balance from start to finish. Good cherry nose and taste, with some pepper and spice on the incrediblly long finish. One of the best wines I have had in quite some time.

eoremus: decanted 1/2 hour; drank over two hours with grilled rib steaks, grilled tomatoes, peppers and okra; short version: no nose, great mid palate, no finish; strong, elegant, complex fruit with hints of the earth I love midpalate and nice mouth feel ... BUT a puzzling lack of action on the nose or finish; so, one more pinot puzzle - how does a wine so big in the middle have so little to offer at the onset and conclusion? is it just me? am I too attached to the rush of a great pinot nose? is it unrealistic to want it all in a $50 pinot? if others can do it why not Dierberg? my next 50 pinot bucks go elsewhere

Beautiful pinot. Full, lush nose. Gorgeous red fruit and body. Just as good or better on day 2. Long finish.
