Pop & pour. Was much less impressed by this bottle, compared to prior ones. Just picked it up at a local wine shop, and I think it has been sitting on the shelf, cork up, since release. Was definitely not as ripe and fruity, and lacked some of the secondary flavors of previous bottles. Still somewhat peppery, but just seemed rather...blah...in comparison. Didn't stop me from enjoying the bottle, however!

Good, but not exciting enough to crack 90.

A touch better than previous bottles. This has aged nicely. Big fruit with hints of pepper on the finish.
