Using all caps won't help you get an answer, CB. I've been enjoying wines for 40 years and have never encountered one that was "cloudy and tasted like nothing". If it had been corked (contaminated with TCA), it would have a very pronounced funky taste and be undrinkable. If it was cooked due to improper storage, it would have tasted hot ... all alcohol and undefined (or sour) fruit; a clue to that condition would have been seen on the cork, which might have shown wetness along its length and on its top, under the capsule. The cloudiness though is unexplained.... perhaps bottled from the dregs of a barrel? Who knows? Suggest you avoid that particular label from now on ... and avoid the retailer, too, if you suspect the wine was cooked.
