French winemaker Julien explains how to tell when a wine is corked, what it smells and taste like, how to identify cork taint.
A corked wine is one of the faulty wine you can taste but it's often difficult to be sure especially when you receive a wine at a restaurant and the sommelier asks you to make sure it isn't bad. After watching this video, you will know and are the aromas and flavors of a corked wine.
Great summary. I think many casual wine drinkers may have encountered a corked wine and had no idea. I've been lucky and have encountered corked wine on a couple of occasions only and they were inexpensive wines. I have had aged wine well past its prime and on the downward slide which had mouldy elements but still with deep fruit. Another misconception people might have is to think a wine is corked because the cork has broken or crumbled on extraction. I recently opened a cheap Spanish red that my mother had bought 10 years ago and kept in less than perfect conditions in Andalusia. The cork fell to pieces but after I strained the wine it tasted perfectly alright. I used it to make tinto de verano in the summer heat.
