look: 4 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.75
Appearance: Corked and capped, the clear copper liquid fills the glass and builds a small head that quickly fades to a ringlet; a squiggly lacing pattern lingers

Smell: Some serious funk in the aroma blends with vinous white wine grape tones; there is some sweetness but a considerable sour aspect

Taste: The front end brings both sweet white wine grape and sour tones simultaneously with the sourness eventually dominating; funky in the middle but the finish brings an acetic vinegary element

Mouthfeel: Medium body with low carbonation; puckery

Overall: The top of the cork was wet when I popped the cap; I know that is a bad sign with wine so I wonder whether some oxygen has gotten into the bottle that has caused the vinegary flavor
