While the cork proved to be a quite worthy opponent, the wine itself is really quite good. It is interesting enough to sit around and play the whats-it-taste-like game and still be interested to play the whats-it-smell-like game afterwards. Of course, I'm no where near good enough at those games to publish my results, but I'd love to hear yours.
Definitely up there with the best I've had so far. There are distinct tastes, unlike some of the crap that I've opened lately. No one could accuse this wine of being weak or timid. Someone who likes spicy food and their meat cooked rare is probably going to like this more than others. Enjoy.

I think this may be the best wine I've ever had under $5. Nice job picking this one out!
