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:
Carol Lee McInnis rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

Very good. Mediterranean pork
Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

This wine has evolved markedly since the 2011 release, with the garrigue playing a stronger note, great black and white pepper notes with a powerful sweet earth note. The wood is also present that highlights the spice overlay. A wine about precision but not fruit dominated. I'm 89 on this wine. (ottawawinejournal.com)
