The #coravin works. This was punctured in 2014 and hasn’t budged. A 15.2 full-bodied CA experience. — 3 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 — 7 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 — 3 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 — 4 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.

A year & half after first #coravin this bottle was in a great place! Glad I heeded my own advice for once and waited! Great blend of terroir, fruit and acidity. #burgundythursday — 7 years ago

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 — 7 years ago
