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:
Darlene Myers rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

I loved this clean juicy Shiraz from the Barossa Valley of Australia. With aged bouquets of Eucalyptus, mint and blackberries, I found it well balanced between acidity and tannins. It will go well with grilled meats as we approach BBQ season.
