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:
Jason Solanki rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

VERY good offering from #99 himself. Lead/pencil/graphite, smoke aromas. All remain on the palate + cassis notes and blackberry. Medium-full bodied with a long finish. Chalky tannins that would have rewarded 2-3 years in the cellar, but definitely enjoyable now with a full flavoured dish - as I did last night.
Darlene Myers rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

This Christmas gift from my sister proved to be a pleasant surprise. Nice deep ruby color combined with flavours of plum, raspberry, smokey tobacco, spice and oak. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
Jennifer Hart rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Chocolate, cassis, tobacco, slightly savoury. Rich and silky, nicely balanced. Developed deliciously as it decanted and opened up.
