musty wine
They are usually called musty wines.
See: My own experience with tainted bottles of wine and faulty corks have been few and far between, I have opened and poured 1000's of bottles and have definitely had dining guests that were not familiar with the wine being served and probably thought that was how that wine was supposed to taste. Some of the tainted bottles are less severe than others, so I can see where it could go unrecognized or unchallenged by a guest. Some may think this sure is a fruitless, bland, kind of unpleasant musty wine, but hey, it is French, so I better just grin and bear it. Another tainted bottle down the hatch without anyone keeping a tally.
