Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Ryan Hindmarsh rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Wynner, Wynner, Chicken dinner. Anything Wynns makes is usually good in my books.
Like Mike Tyson eating peanut butter right out of the jar. This Shiraz is powerful, really really dense and it sticks to the roof of your mouth. Put some Phil Collins on and pour this beside a plate of ribs soaked with your favorite BBQ sauce.
Greg Dew reviewed this wine as follows:

The wine is ageing gracefully. Attracrive nose, very slightly astringent on the front palate before a very rewarding taste in the back palate. Cellaring time, at least 10 years if cellared properly.
Deep colour; a fragrant burst of cherry, plum and spice on the bouquet leads into a palate that moves into more powerful black fruits and licorice, the tannins round and soft. Drink [until] 2028. Score: 94 Source: James Halliday, winecompanion.com.au
