1982 Silver Oak

Hey gang,

I have a 1.5L 1982 Silver Oak Bonny’s Vineyard, and I’m trying to figure out what do to with it. I had half a thought to use the Coravin on it and see if it’s still any good, but I’m a bit hesitant because it’s obviously an older cork.

Alternatively, I’ve thought about letting it go at auction, but I don’t want to miss out on a potential brilliant bottle.

TLDR; Does anyone have any experience with early vintage Silver Oak, specifically Bonny’s vineyard? And does anyone have any experience using the Coravin on 80’s vintage corks/bottles?

Thanks!
