The #coravin works. This was punctured in 2014 and hasn’t budged. A 15.2 full-bodied CA experience. — 5 years ago

Valreas Cuvée Prestige Côtes du Rhône Villages Red Rhône Blend 2015

Expected to like this more than I did... it's got some ripe fruit juiciness and light tannins, as one might expect of a bottle from this appellation at this price point. The nose is a tad earthy and toasty but on the palette, it's simpler and woodier (hehe, she said wood) than I thought it would be. Much tastier with a slice of foot-stinky cheese. (Don't ask what the cheese was, my date left it here after making me breakfast this morning and he tossed the label). #côtesduwhat #traderjoes #cheesewine #coravin — 9 years ago

La Croix de Beaucaillou

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2005

2005 Croix de Beaucaillou Saint-Julien - ripe fresh and delicious right now but a shame to waste because it's got so much potential. Glad I used the #Coravin it's got tons of life left and I've still got another bottle. Hold for 10 yrs. — 10 years ago

Domaine Richard Rottiers

Climat Champ de Cour Moulin à Vent Gamay 2009

Wine for the Brett lover. Wine probably needs some decanting; I had it served with a #Coravin. Delicious in its own right. Great medium body, medium - tannins, aromas are hard to describe but really complex. 2009 is apparently the vintage of the decade in Beaujolais. — 11 years ago

This is one of those few (and I do mean few) wines where it tastes better with #coravin than #uncorked With Coravin it has a lovely bouquet full of white flowers, citrus and hints of oak. Uncorked it just gets all acidic and looses the delicate complexity. Still, that being said...it is one of the better white #Rioja that I have tried and I’ve tried plenty. Reasonably priced. #macabeo #macabeu #viura #garnachablanca #grenacheblanc #malvasia — 6 years ago

Holding on, this is in a half-bottle 3/8 but is delicious. First with #coravin it was just okay, but decanted it sang. Delicious. #lalandedepomerol #pomerol — 6 years ago

A tad sour for my taste...over the hill already? ⛰ Update: Improved immensely after breathing in glass and accessing with #coravin a few days later. — 9 years ago

Domaine Billard-Gonnet

Les Pèzerolles Pommard 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2008

Red licorice nose, floral bouquets, wet mossy forest floor. Out of the #coravin the front of the palate is a bit off putting in acidity & throws the whole thing off but this seems like it could balance out with some baked cherry & rhubarb flavors with time in bottle or decant 45 mins — 10 years ago

You mean better not use coravin?

In the case of this wine, yes. This wine is much better when it is opened and the cork is removed.

From a #coravin bottle god knows when. Delicious, almost oozing mint chocolate coffee, red current & plum, toasted vanilla bean, solid acid to balance this hedonism — 9 years ago

Tasted from #coravin this #taylorfladgate was powerful. The alcohol overwhelmed everything. I was able to get some fun prune and chocolate notes on the incredible length but this will either need some more time or a good long #decant #vintageport #portugal #port #touriganacional #ctbucklinwine — 10 years ago
