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 briars, cherries, warm spice, eucalypt (classic of Coonawarra), toasted fennel, cumin and sweet earth. There's a lot packed into this tight frame. Definitely not "open-textured". Makes you think a little bit more than a Barossa Shiraz. 91+ (ottawawinejournal.com)
