You're saying a particular wine has a higher than average TCA problem? I guess
there's 2 possibilities if that's the case:
a substandard cork selection process - while there's no way to eliminate cork
taint, it seems conscientious selection can reduce the odds a bit.
or, more likely,
a systemic infection at the winery, such as happened with a few CA places (most
notably the aging room for BV's top reds for the '97-'99 vintages).
Noticed your email address. Which restaurant do you work for? The myriad group
has some of my faves (Nobu, Montrachet despite the "only" 2 star rating last
week).
