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:
Greg reviewed this wine as follows:

Shower - Court and Pete
Bright ruby. Cherry compote and dark berry liqueur aromas are complicated by pipe tobacco, violet, apricot and liquorice qualities; smells a lot like syrah. Broad, palate-staining dark fruit flavours are framed by velvety tannins and become spicier with air. Packs serious punch but carries no fat and betrays no rough edges. The tannins fade away on the sweet, juicy finish, which strongly repeats the floral notes. Score: 92 Source: Josh Raynolds, International Wine Cellar
