Hi All,
I have read in this NG that TCA contaminated (corked)
wines can have a barnyard or wet dog flavor. Last night
we had a bottle of 2002 Antinori Santa Cristina (an everyday
favorite), and even with my inexperienced palate I
could easily detect a flavor that reminded me of wet
cardboard. Was this wine corked? We've had many bottles of
Santa Cristina, but never one that tasted like this.

TIA,
Dick R.
