I just received and cracked my bottle and have to agree with you 100% . Time may help this one open up and tone down the hotness but at this moment I'll give it a 3.5 and very disappointing for the $110 plus $20 in taxes and shipping on top of that.I don't get the very high reviews unless those reviewers didn't rate it until it opened up to a better profile. How do you w that it has been open for awhile???
