I just cut a 2yr old natural rind Parm (at least I think it was a parm the label was illegible). It had a wonderful flavor and aroma but the after note was peppery to the point of tasting hot. Any ideas about that?

A 2 year old parm will have a good bite to it and smell a bit like dirty socks. I wonder if that's what you are tasting?
