Corked
Beginner Tasting & Sensoryपरिभाषा
A wine contaminated by TCA, giving it a musty, damp cardboard smell.
गहराई से
Cork taint (2,4,6-trichloroanisole) affects an estimated 1-3% of wines sealed with natural cork. At low levels, TCA merely mutes fruit without obvious mustiness. At higher concentrations, the wine smells distinctly of wet newspaper or damp basement. The wine is safe to drink but unpleasant. Screw caps and synthetic corks eliminate this risk.
