This is the second bottle of this vintage I've opened in the last two months, and both have had some sort of taint - I think cork-related. The first cork was extremely supple and had an odd odor, which the wine had acquired. With aeration it subsided quite a bit, but not entirely. The bottle last night was similar, but less affected - cork supple (but not as), less prominent smell. Wine was drinkable, but not at all the deep flavors I recall from the 2012 vintage. It was thin and had essentially no finish at all.
I am hopeful, though not necessarily optimistic, that my remaining bottles will be unaffected.
