As DD said....... it is 'corked'.


Corked = Affected by TCA......... trichloroanisole, a bacteria that
lives in the bark of a certain tree that supplies all the corks for the
world..... but at the same time only infects about 2-7% of all wines.



I've been drinking wine since 1993, and have only had approx 6-8 bottles
that have been corked.



What was the bottle DD?
