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:
The top-tier KWV range [Cathedral Cellar] honours the aptly named cellar that was built in 1930 and restored to splendour in 2005. With soaring stained-glass windows, granite and wood inlaid floor, and imposing rows of hand-carved wooden vats, it is a fitting spiritual home for these impressive and stylish wines ... Full, rich & ripe 2008, perhaps shade less elegant than 2007 but still very fine. Dense apricot, peach complement fat texture and toasty oak ([barrel] fermentation, 60% new; small tank-fermentation portion). Score – 4 (out of 5).
