Purchased from Benchmark Wine Group (BWG https://www.benchmarkwine.com/ ) in February 2015, delivered last day of Feb.15. On opening- notable mold on top of the cork, not something that seems to have developed over short period. Slight holes in cork. On taste- Dead vinegar. Very very bitter. Further inspection suggests that the bottle may have gone through improper storage before purchasing. (arrived directly to my storage temp/humidity control location from BWG). Can't be used even as vinegar for cooking.
Flawed bottle. Will inspect the other bottles at the storage and contact BWG for clarifications. Not good.
