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:
Quite deep ruby in colour with a very pronounced classic Cabernet Sauvignon nose of cassis, eucalypt, olive, dusty earth, clove, orange zest and graphite. The palate is dry and full, with lots of acid and tannin structure and great intensity. Flavours of eucalypt, spice, coffee, graphite, minerals, raspberry, olive and the garrigue. Very long and complex with potential to develop for many years in bottle. Just completely eats up the 100% new oak and is a true reflection of the Maipo Alto terroir.
