Given storage conditions its difficult to tell if the bottle was flawed or just more oxidatively handled than normal. What lies beneath, thouhg, is undeniable. Superb. Would expect a good bottle to fetch 95-100pt

It's impressive what Valette could put together on the production of the 2003 vintage. I have tried most vintages of this wines and none gets even closer to the 03. A wine of full power, elegance and finesse. A bright acidity that washes up the whole structure delivering a wine of power and elegance. This last bottle tasted is already showing notes of honey, nuts so I belive its time to drink it as is at its peak.

Bottle with way inferior quality from 2 last tasted. Will try to find a few extra bottles to double check.
