Corked
Beginner Tasting & Sensory定义
A wine contaminated by TCA, giving it a musty, damp cardboard smell.
深入了解
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.
