We drank the wine blind alongside a 2001 Meerlust Rubicon, 2001 SLV Fay and a (2004?) Gralyn. The Bordeaux was everyone’s least favourite and the Rubicon WOTN (it does have history of beating Bordeaux wines mind).
Hope this helps - maybe best not to line it up against others too and enjoy on its own?
