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 90/100 with the following review:

Number 61 on the Spectator's Top 100 and I can see why. This wine is masterfully crafted and at $15, how can you go wrong? Plums, dried cherries, flowers on the nose with darker cherry and raspberries on the palate. Nicely delineated. I'm 90 on this. (ottawawinejournal.com)
Bright plum, dried cherry and flowers on the nose. Full-bodied, with fine tannins and refined berry and cherry flavours. Drink now. Score: 90 Source: James Suckling, jamessuckling.com
