PnP. Deep red. Lovely deep nose of red fruits. Thick on the palate with red and blackberries and spice. A little hot on the finish but more the depth of the wine dominates. This is drinking nicely at age 13 and I don't know if it will improve. Not a wine on the elegant side of PInot for sure but still nice drinking.

Ruby red in color. 14.9% ABV. Beautiful nose of red fruits, cloves, sarsaparilla and damp forest floor. Light to medium body with exquisite acidity. Supremely elegant. Cherries, strawberries, cola and earth on the palate. The finish is long and silky. Special Pinot Noir that embodies what you would expect from a wine with the Reserve designation from Dehlinger. Drink over the next 1-2 years.

Cherry liqueur and spice nose. This is a big Pinot, ripe and lush. The palate is deep with some sweet almost confected fruit with drying tannins on the longish finish. Overall very ripe and rich, too big for a meal companion.

Really sensational - red fruit some secondary herbal character, in an absolute great place. Years to go.

Decanted 3+. Really rich and complex with a beautiful mid-palate of dark red and black fruit. Delicious with the meal.
