Wasn’t drinking well nor did it taste like the other bottle in the same vintage. Off time or something was wrong

A bit strange, but the 2011 bottle we drank last night had a 2012 Diam cork in it. Anyone ever see have the same issue with this vintage and producer? Not rating it in case it was a fake.

Opened 2.5 hours before drinking, but the wine didn't really evolve until it was in the glass. DJ and I both thought it great after a few minutes in the glass.
