Nothing wrong with it. Fine wool jerseys aren't exactly news in cycling
as they were de-rigeur many decades ago.
I prefer synthetics for bursts of higher activity as they dry out
quicker, but I prefer Merino wool for steady-going, especially if I'll
be using it for a few days with limited landering chances.

IME it's fine, but not to the point where using it is a no-brainer. I
would personally say that cut is probably more im****tant to your
specific personal comfort than whether it's high quality wool or high
quality synthetic, as both are good.
