Yea, if a retailer is selling these and not honoring the return request when this is noticed it would be helpful to know who it is.
For what it’s worth… we use a Coravin on as many as 50 moderately priced ($30-$50) current vintage wines at a time where I work. We date every bottle when it’s first pierced. Deterioration varies greatly from wine to wine. Some may change dramatically in as little as 3-5 days; others seem reasonably good in 60 days (if they last that long).
I recently poured from a bottle that was originally pierced four months previously. The nose was decidedly medicinal so I pierced a new bottle. The taste, however, was not all that bad. I think I recall it being a Tempranillo.
Yao, Kirk,
The first was from K&L and they immediately refunded. Zero prob with them.
They’re top notch.
