A guess: you're talking about young southern wines--like the Cahors you mention--and the mustiness is...tannins, which to my taste often give young syrah/grenache/mourvedre-based wines an unplaesant taste (and nose) reminiscent of (sorry) an old band-aid. Give those bottles, oh, five years in the cellar--and voila, no more mustiness.
