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:

Crushed black raspberry, violets, espresso, boysenberry, and smoke on the nose complement the chocolate, fine grained oak, and toasted nuts on the palate. Lovely example of cooler climate Shiraz. 90 points. (ottawawinejournal.com)
Deep purple; a voluminous bouquet of black fruits, spice and licorice; a medium- to full-bodied and rich palate, flooded with black fruit and spice flavours; great tannin and oak support. Drink [until] 2021. Source: James Halliday, winecompanion.com.au
