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:
Graeme Tindale rated this wine as 70/100 with the following review:

Nice, pleasant. Worth buying again. Not as good a value as Juan Gil - Spain
This great-valued Cab is the brother to the Kaiken Malbec (58339) that is a Vintages Essential. Kaiken is the Argentine project of Chilean superstar winemaker Aurelio Montes. His Cab is packed with ripe blackberry, cassis, coffee and vanilla flavours. Dry, but with a plush texture and concentrated fruit flavours. It’s meant for immediate enjoyment.
