'94 Rombauer

[Van The Man]

Mike -

Prolly a bad bottle although I would say that this wine's ageing potential isn't much past 5 to 7 years.

You'll know a "corked" bottle when you get one. Think of wet, moldy cardboard and then you'll know what a corked bottle is like.

Oh, one other possibility, was the storage good? Was there any seepage at the top of the cork? These can be warning signs that O2 got to the wine and that would certainly do it in.
