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:
A rich, nicely extracted Ripasso with aromas of blackcurrant, spice, dried fruits, chocolate and black pepper. Dry and quite flavourful, but with a pleasing zippy freshness giving it a certain refinement. A perfect choice tonight. It can also be enjoyed over the next 3-5 years. Source: Vintages Wine Panel
