Any wine scientists out there? Will corked wine become more corked over time? In otherwords, would a wine taste more corked after 20 years than after 5 years?

probably, .... if a corked wine tastes like sh#* now, ...then given even more time it would probably taste even sh#*ier, ... but this is only being presumptuous ... being the logical buy that i am.

It will become (relatively) more prominent as everything else fades. You can see this with young, full wines, where most people don't detect it at first. As the wine opens up, more and more people can detect it.
