2011 Graham's Vintage Port

My first Port to be Coravin'd.
As a PnP...very deep, dark, extracted, terrific grip, round, lithe, groovy tension, medium sweet, and an apple-like citric acidity vibrating in the background, l-o-n-g.
At a 4 hour decant time, it has smoothed out but lost its tension and grip...I prefer the PnP performance.

Do you plan on poking in every year?
Sounds fantastic...

No, I'm learning that the Coravin is fantastic for preservation up to about 2 weeks, but beyond that, oxidation in duly noted.

Has anyone tried this with an old VP yet? Curious how the cork has held up with the pressure/needle being inserted through it.

Andy, you provide the older VP, and I'll provide the Coravin. Deal?

My last glass...
Bottomless fruit, wonderful structure, an ongoing and ongoing grippy finish.
