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:

This wine smells of fresh red cherry, stalky greenery (though I am not sure of stem work), cardamom and just a faint hint of sous bois. The palate is juicy and plush but ultra vibrant – it’s a wash of vibrant red fruit followed by silken tannin and a long, bustling finish of cherry, spice and faint game meats. Fresh as you like, pure and driven, the wine feels energy packed and finely tuned for the price point. Man this is sophisticated in its restraint, man this is drinkable. Drink 2011-2017.

Natalie who?
Yes, I'm a certified sommelier and was named the World's Best Wine Writer at the World Food Media Awards. Blah, blah, blah. What really matters is that I know which wines can increase your hedonistic happiness... a lot. Don't worry, spam doesn't pair well with wine!
