WinoRick here. Note I Corvin-ed a bottle 9 months ago and forgot it. I opend a fresh bottle and compared it with a bottle half filled with argon. The Corvin-ed bottle was definitely oxidized, not terrible but certainly reducing the pleasue in the wine vs the freshly opened bottle. I have had bottles Coravin-ed that were young and they last pretty long. Maybe an elderly bottle such as a 1998 oxidizes more noticeably??

Chosen to drink with a Galloni BYOB virtual webinar. Coravin because I was drinking alone. The bottle has a moderate amounte of sediment and was dark ruby with a little browning at the edges. Beautiful aromatics along with plenty of fruit. Not too much fruit and I think there is room for this to improve with a bigger bouquet and more complexity, though a tad less fruit. Excellent now, though.

All tertiary flavors and aromas. Acidity still refreshing. Tannins are refined and smooth. Alcohol is very high here, but still very good with a meal. Can see why RP gave it a 96! Drink up

Absolutely divine. Beautiful garnet color, well integrated fruit and tannins. Wish I had more.
