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 deeply flavourful, poised and plush-textured wine sports spicy black cherry, cassis and chocolate cake notes against a smoky backdrop. A blend of 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc and 8% Barbera. A wine with a firm structure, this needs to be cellared another year before the lively fruit flavours show as well as they usually do in this consumer favourite.
