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:
Gabriel Israel rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

Balance, integration and accuracy is what this Shiraz is all about. So many things are going on in a beautiful harmony here that you don't need to look for the description of the so-many flavors and undertones that this wine offers. Just close your eyes and enjoy the taste and its completeness - Shiraz at its best. Decant for an hour.
