Out goes the last bottle of this doomed lot. Most bottles of the two cases were flawed/premoxed. Some rare ones were on the level you would expect from this otherwise fine producer. This last one was the brightest in color, so i expected it to be the best, as the flawed ones were rather dark yellow. Unfortunately, this last bottle was neither flawed nor corked, but has an inexplicable nose of rotten eggs, never came across this before... This lot was really forgettable, it's gone now, let's look to more enjoyable Carbonnieux.

No formal note. Spectacular nose, fresh exotic fruit, ripe peaches, slight green/herbal touch. Very dry, good concentration, fresh. Excellent length. Prime drinking window.

Again flawed. Appalling. For this producer a shame.
