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 89/100 with the following review:

Really cool story here. M. Chapoutier, the producer of this wine introduced Braille labeling on his wines in 1994 so a blind family member could read the labels. You only need your nose to enjoy this wine in the blindness of the light. It got me revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night. Lamb please.
