Leaking bottle. Slightly deep colour; the nose has suffered from the oxidation, has lost its depth and nuances, sherry and toffee, lovely light topnotes, no impurities; the palate shows the class of this wine, lovely light Loire-style, fleshy and juicy, excellent balance and acidity; good length, shorter than it normally would be. Perfect bottles should easily merit 94/95 points.
