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:
Mark Cochrane rated this wine as 81/100 with the following review:

A bright ruby red Syrah from Maipu Argentina with aromas of spice, cloves, blackberry and dark chocolate. It has a nice plummy flavour and some spice. Some softer tannins that end with a nice smooth spice finish. I found that there was a slight bitter after taste at the very end which was barely noticeable. A nice wine to serve with BBQ pork tenderloin.
Lovely dark-fruit notes mix with aromas of sweet oak, vanilla, mocha spice, and hints of bacon to create a very pleasing aromatic experience. The palate is dry, full bodied and loaded with character with more spice, vanilla and milk chocolate notes coming through, before closing with a big, juicy finish. This will reward 6-8 years in the cellar, or can be enjoyed tonight. Source: Vintages Wine Panel
