Tastevin's cork question

[Thomas]

Well, considering I have no immediate plans for a trip to England, maybe you should put a few aside from the so-called vintage of the century (2000) and wait until I arrive--then, we can smell corks together. Better yet, you can smell the corks and I'll finish the wine...

But seriously, can you give me a descriptor--not a noun like wood, but an adjective. Musty, to me, is like moldy. And wherever there is moisture--especially so close to wood--I believe you will find mold, even if it be benign mold, even if there is such a thing. [img]http://wines.com/ubb2/eek.gif[/img]
