flawed
Tuesday, April 26, 2011 - Corked. I have heard disappointing rumors that most bottles from this vintage are flawed. First of four definitely corked, and undrinkable.

The brett nose blew off with a 5 hour decant- the bottle was beautiful. My guess is every bottle shares this trait- most don't consider it a flaw.
It needs another 2 to 3 years of age before opening; even then it will require a decant. The '02 had the brett issue as well; it's drinking great now.
