Tastevin's cork question

[Thomas]

..that's the truth. Of course, I don't think I said that I am correct. As in taste, smell is on the subjective side too, which is why each time I referred to what the cork or musty smell seemed like I interjected (to me) and it is obvious it is not so to you (being pedantic, I thrive on such trivial distinctions).

And so, we have a difference in opinion which, people being what we are, is what usually happens when a question is asked and an answer is given.

Anyway, what descriptor do you give to the smell of a cork (not a disintegrated one) that you pull from an aged bottle of Bordeaux?
