April 11, 2014 - Ripe black plum, currant and tobacco. Gravelly, drying finish. Needs at least 5 years. Good price point.
2 months after using a Coravin on half the bottle we popped the cork and the wine was a shell of the first tasting and smelled like a dirty ashtray.1 person found this helpful 3,898 views

I would be hesitant to drain half or two thirds of a bottle and try to store it several years. Overall, I highly recommend it if you frequently want to pour a glass or two. If you frequently drink inexpensive bottles the cost of the argon capsules will greatly increase your cost per glass, however.
