Audouzed in the cellar overnight. Dark color and nose of dark brambly fruit (almost cassis-like) and tree bark. Very sweet fruit with some herbaceousness on the palate, but the blackberry and raspberry fruit definitely dominate. A little earth and bark to join the fruit. Finishes well, but it's definitely very fruit driven for a Dehlinger. Probably a by-product of the vintage coupled with drinking it arguably too early in its life. Will last a few years, but my gut tells me it'll be less long-lived than usual for Dehlinger Pinot.
