December 30, 2014 - Another bottle that turned out a little cloudy and below par. Still, good nose and enjoyable, but not the same wine as when tasted before.

Isn't this rather a sign of bottle variation? In that case, it would seem to be more correct to give the different bottles varying scores, rather than to stick to the original high scores.

1/4/15, 3:14 PM - You raise a good point. I guess I'm not entirely sure if the bottle is flawed or not. I drink a lot of Camus and have never seen a cloudy one before this so I assumed there was something wrong with it. The other bottles were stellar! The difference in quality level seems much more excessive than bottle variation to me.
