we gathered 4 months after the Coravin tasting for opening the bottles and tasting the remaining wine whether it was well kept well.
and it was!
Coravin is effective!
Few bottles were consumed in this event, bottles that were not Coravined 4 months ago:
- 2007 pale by Yair
- 2004 Poggio Il Castellare Brunello di Montalcino was contributed by Hanan
- 2005 Janasse CDP VV - I brought a new bottle to Coravin it, unfortunately it was flawed as well… unbelievable !
- 2007 R. Nager Rheinhessen (red dessert) by Yoram, however a mediocre wine

2005 Domaine de la Janasse Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes
France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Coravin tasting
bought 2 bottles from vinsgrandscrus.com on Oct 2010 and kept both in my wine cooler.
Coravin tasted the 1st May 1st, 2014. Was awful.
So tried Coravin tasting the 2nd bottle on Sep 4, 2014. Another disappointment!!!
Too stinky for a wine to be enjoyable. Something must be wrong with this bottle. I love CDP with all its earthy funky aromas. But this one was awful.
should be scored very low, e.g. 70 - but don't want to spoil Janasse CDP VV great records.
what a shame…. very disappointing...

2007 Le Macchiole Paleo Rosso 92 Points
Italy, Tuscany, Toscana IGT
Coravin tasting
dark red-purple-black
intense dark fruity nose with notes of spices, black pepper & smoke.
rich dark forward fruits , spicy and peppery dark oak, still very tannic and too young drink.
nevertheless, it is well balanced with great harmony.
Should be aged at least 2-3 years if not more, then it'll be enjoyable for 5-15 years.

pleasant dark fruity nose with plums, barn & leather notes

2007 Weingut Richard Nägler Frühburgunder Schwabenheimer Klostergarten Beerenauslese 82 Points
Germany, Rheinhessen
not too sweet dessert wine, pleasant juicy, but somewhat boring and lacks character.
