There are a number of variations of this aroma. It's often called the "rubber boot aroma" and was common in some Lois Martini reds around 40 years ago. It is often caused by the presence of a specific bacterium and can be avoided rather simply by good cellar practices. It is considered a fault rather than a feature. I happen to dislike it intensely.
