I could see someone finding an "earthiness" to a corked wine, but I'd have a
difficult time likening anything there to fruit. That said, one's perception
of flavor is mostly in their imagination. Their mind conjures us some similar
taste and places that thought into the stream of perception. Now, if I had
ever tasted musty, dusty, earthy fruit, maybe I would go along with this.
Since the loss of "fruit" is one of the aspects that I detect with the TCA,
plus usually an increase in acid, I don't see this. However, that is just me,
and I am very sensitive to TCA, so I'm not a good judge here.
