Bummer. The '79 Santenots from Lafon is the best red wine I have ever had... I would have loved to see your impression of a correct bottle of this.

Corked. The wine is still punching through, surprisingly dark and still showing some primary character. But spoiled by that level of TCA that you want to be a figment of your imagination but that keeps cropping up, especially with more air. A particular shame especially when the victim, no matter how humble, is something that's been stowed in your cellar for many a year. #corked — 10 years ago

I love the variances in wine but such a bummer to look forward to a wine so much and then have it be horribly corked

Mount Eden Vineyards

Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir 2012

Had at a pretty high end tasting with a lot of enthusiasts. Was really excited to taste this, waited in the long line listening to everyone's compliments/comments on the wine. Finally got to the front of the pack and got a pour from the nearly empty bottle that everyone was commenting on.. Annd it was #corked. 😳. .. Came back once another bottle was opened and glad I did, it was a night and day difference ... Question is though, were people just trying to be nice? Or did they really not know it was faulted?.. Just a thought.. — 11 years ago

Use the force, Luke. Why would anyone be nice about a corked wine? It's not really the winemaker's fault unless all the bottles are that way.

@Eric Hwang - correct, it's not the winemakers fault, I wasn't trying to insinuate that with my comment... Actually, typically love mt. Eden wines, and they are almost always consistent... As far as someone being nice about a flaw, I do think one reason someone would be nice is the Social influence factor- for example, if one of your friends or someone whose opinion you respect thinks the wine is fine and you either agree not to hurt their feelings, or you don't want to look like you don't know much about wine and you agree to fit in....

2012 Hawk Watch Sauvignon Blanc, San Diego County, Cali. A victim of the composite cork! Muted aromas. Green pear, peach and herbal flavors on a slightly flabby finish. Boo! It must have tasted amazing when purchased at the winery last year. #wine #sommelier #cork #corked #sandiego #california — 12 years ago
