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:
Liz Pietrzak rated this wine as 95/100
Dan Trcka rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

This Cabernet/Shiraz blend is really something special. It is medium to full bodied, with integrated aromas of cherry, black currant, black cherry and vanilla. It is smooth, silky, with refined tannins and a nice long finish. It took 30 min to an hour for the wine to decant and to show its full might. It can be drunk now or cellared for the next 10 or more years. My impression: BEAUTIFUL, no wonder why they disappeared so quickly. Glad I have a few for THAT special occasion. Tasted Dec/09.
