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:
Strong colour; crammed to the gills with blackberry, confit plum and integrated oak (18 months in barrel) yet shows no heat or dead fruit characters; the supple and soft mouth- feel makes this an excellent each-way drinking proposition, now or later. Drink [until] 2019. Score: 92 Source: James Halliday, winecompanion.com.au
