Sorry, no, never tasted it. But the results clearly would point
into the direction of one (or more?) off bottle(s). And what else
than the cork should be the reason for this?

Btw: My best 2001, tasted in April 2002 from cask, not taking into
account premiers and garagistes: La Tour Carnet (94/100).
