Is there any possible storage or provenance explanation (poor storage at retailer, etc)? I have not had any issue with anything close to oxidation in the bottles in my cellar.
Cheers!

I always take mainly reds but also 6 bottles of la Croix boissée back home. I take care about the temperature during the trip and my celler in an old French house does not go higher than 20 deg C max in summer. So, no idea about the variations of the bottles. I know 2 other persons which have the same issue with these wines. In general, we Open them early and we have less worries. Cheers, Markus aka MJREB.
