3 out of 6 half bottles badly corked - the other 3 cooked and prune-like. I acknowledge they are a bit old for drinking and being cooked could be down to storage, but having half the bottles corked betrays very poor quality control. Shouldn't happen in this day and age.

Cork disintegrated and the wine was corked. A serious problem with quality control this vintage (too many people are experiencing the same problem for it to be normal). I'll avoid Tyrrell's in the future as a matter of principle.

Corked. In my experience FAR too many Italian wines suffer from being corked. It's avoidable and urgently needs to be addressed by the industry. Wines such as Castel Giocondo are too expensive to be worth the risk (my 2nd experience with this particular maker).
