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:
This shiraz from Epsilon is made in the warm, sweet, modern style of Barossa reds – though it has some other tricks up its sleeve too. I’m easily bored with the ‘ouzo-and-raspberry’ style of Barossan shiraz and although this wine is part of that genre, it has such a dry, chalky finish and so much tight, earthen tannin that it manages to transcend it. It’s a gobful of sweet fruit flavour with form and structure in-built. I like it: it’s good value and good wine. Drink 2011-2015. Score: 90 Source: Campbell Mattinson, winefront.com.au
