Can a damaged screw cap feel perfectly normal and intact--no leaks, nothing obvious, snapping apart just like it should etc?

Which is typical premox (if not retailer BS), This issue with premOx is that 15-35% of wines that should be aged die too young. And tasting one bottle from your case doesn't necessarily give you an accurate assessment of the others. Even with some of the producers considered the worst offenders ( Bonneau du Martray, Colin-Deleger,Matrot, Carillon, Sauzet) I've sometimes gotten beautiful and youthful bottles. John Gilman told a great story about a discussion re premox with Veronique Drouhin, he opened a bottle of '99 Mouches to prove his point, and it was of course glorious (as were 2 of my 4 bottles).

Oh come on, you know what I meant. I should have used better adjectives. Like "over-ripe California chardonnay." Chablis should never taste like that, of course.
