"The nose offers aromas of black cherry, lavender, and cocoa, while hints of raspberry, baking spices and chocolate lead to a long finish. Previous vintages have revealed this to be a wine that ages beautifully," from the winemaker. Had with a vegetable lasagna.

Too much alcohol in the aroma. If that dies down the wine has good structure. Did not decant and I regret that. The 88 reflects it as I drank it, though I suspect given a little more age and some time to open I would have seen the wine as a 90.
