This is decent; dark, funky, almost muddy, but there's something here. There's a nice earthiness with mushroom/ forest floor kind of elements, that stop just short of campfire. In fact, it seems like it would be a good wine to pair with something you killed yourself and roasted over a fire on a stick.

The first bottle of this I had several years was questionably corked. This one is full blown corked. Once you get past the nose, which is difficult, it is rustic and dirty. Not sure what happened with my batch.
