Pop/pour. Drinking much better than the bottle a year ago. Part of that could be because I had this one standing up for a couple weeks. It throws a lot of sediment.
On the nose, a bit of earth, funk and briar. The palate is much more full this time around, with more obvious depth of fruit. Obvious pepper note. Still a relatively acidic wine, but more in balance this time around and a better drink as a sipper. A bit smoother on the finish without the obvious clipping from the last tasting. Though more approachable on its own, this will still do better with food, and in fact marries quite nicely with Italian hoagies.

Not much to add to my prior notes. Not particularly compelling on its own, but suprisingly comes alive when paired with a chicken enchilada and plenty of sambal chili paste. There's something in the heat of the chilis that brings out more body and a bit of sweetness in the palate of the wine. Actually, in this capacity it morphs from "crap, I need to go find another bottle to open" to "wow, this goes really, really well with the food". So there you have it...serve it up with a runny store-bought enchilada and lots of hot sauce.
85-87 points on its own. Aromatic nose with hints of briar. Nice flavors, but too little of them, relatively thin on the palate. Finishes with a metallic or perhaps mineral clipping. Either way, for me the finish on this blows the score for this wine, subject to the food-pairing caveats above.

Decent enough wine with lasagna. Opens up disjointed (acidic, "where's the fruit") but that somewhat fixes itself after 10-15 minutes. Lovely nose, but doesn't cross my palate with much exciting. Doesn't seem as rich as I remembered it. Drink now/soon, preferably with food. Pairing profile - medium to medium light fruit, pepper, moderate+ acidity.

Very smooth, medium body. Drinks like a more expensive bottle.
