Incredible amount of oyster/sea salt on the nose and palate which seems to dim slowly - what is this?

2nd bottle cracked and same result. Very offensive smell : bad oysters and soy sauce. Decanted with litlle relief.

How's the colour. Is it very dark/ opaque? Could be badly oxidized

You didn't by this as a case from a chinese restaurant by any chance?

The colour, to me, appears correct for its age - red/puple. Slightly cloudy. There is no brown apples or sherry characters that I would associate with oxidation. Spoke with Mountadam and they will assess a bottle if I send one over. Can't say Ive ever struck this b4. 
The wine was purchased from Langton's in Melbourne.

I have one in the cellar and cannot find (ie 2 lazy to go down more then 1 page for the TN). When tasted @ cellar door was really looking forward to this. Is this a one off or a general issue with this wine ?

I cracked two out of a case and both were the same, although one was slighlty worse. I have sent a third bottle off to the winemaker for assessment and will post the results soon.
