I just saw a recent article in WS, don't know which one, where an organization took a 1,000(?) bottles of Semillion with all types of closures and aged them for ten years. Their findings were that the screw top aged the best as far as color and taste. But you're right, that is just one of many studies.
As for me, I'm stilling betting on the screw top. If a winery bottled with both screw tops or corks I buy the screw top every time.
As for taint, I've had several glasses at home or friends homes where I could taste it but nobody else seemed to notice.
I also went to a classified Bordeaux tasting where one of the bottles was corked. Luckily the presenter caught it before pouring. This was a "by invitation only" where the folks there were good customers of the store. Quite a few people asked for the bottle to be passed around so they could smell it. I wondered if these people had never known what a tainted wine was?
