I was given a couple of 375ml of 2005 Thierry et Pascale Meursault
(under screwcap) as samples recently and I opened one tonight as I was
solo. The wine was way off. Very oxidized, over-ripened rotten apple
smell. The flavors were horribly oxidized, bitter and just flat out
bad. I opened the other bottle with the same results...bad wine or
bad shipping or bad seal?
