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:
Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Black raspberry and briars after 18 months really shine through since my the last tasting note. Tobacco and black licorice still present, but the fruit has rounded out and the tannins have softened considerably. Exceptional chalky minerality, with a touch of flowers (violets come to mind) and spice. Touch of light roast coffee and earth on the nose and finish as well. New oak supports in a subtle way, but by no means a main component, allowing the fruit really to shine. I'm 91 on this. (ottawawinejournal.com)
