m77, lated identified as D77: darkest of the 1977s. Badly corked.
I did not know that D77 had a reputation for being corked. Most others did know.

This was, indeed, corked.

I've had three cracks at the D77 (two courtesy of TPF), and all have been deeply flawed. Would not pay money for a bottle, but am eager to try to find a proper example, as I hear it is a great wine.
