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:
Travis Oke rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

We were given this wine in Spain this past summer - drank it my last night there with tapas and duck confit in a puff pastry. Long, long, long finish. Make sure you decant - we spent the first 30 minutes commenting on how much the nose changed as it breathed. Smooth tannins, hot ripe dry fruit. If I wasn't impatient I could have let it cellar for a few more years - but I regret nothing.
