100++ This bottle was decrepit, and smelled like vinegar and and rotting goat carcass. Hidden underneath the hideous odor and vile taste was the finest bottle of wine that I have ever had the pleasure of sampling. When I imagined what the wine might have smelled like had it not been totally pungent, I smelled watermelon water, beef jus, fertilizer, and candied walnuts. The first sip made me vomit, but as I tasted that vomit, I noticed hints of roses, dried roses, tar, hot rocks, caramelized veal bones, some green anise seed, and of course pencil shavings. WOTN!!!
