Any ideas? I think the prime suspect has to do with the cork. It was pretty brittle. The corkscrew hardly worked on it. I don't know, Imagine an old rotten cork and that's pretty much it.

I believe you have a case of wine Lees, which in clear everyday wines are separated from the Lees as soon as possible, whereas some reds wines they are purposely left with the Lees in order to gain a greater depth of flavor. So it is kinda like a bonus! Little wine snacks left by the winemaker, to give you an even better wine experience. Hope this helps?
Cheers!
