Cork was horrible and disintegrated into bottle. Popped and poured through filter and then decanter. Fair amount of sediment/material in bottle and through decanter. Color was a very light red/bricking orange/brown. Nose had hints of old cedar and forest floor – the nose was the only part of this wine that is at all positive. Tasted like spoiled apple juice on the palate. Was undrinkable. My worst wine purchase yet. Stay far, far away. No rating.
