Corks for Long Term Aging

[sly22guy]

I know this has been touched on many times, as far as best cork. But my wife is due in may and id like to save 1 or 2 bottles from each batch for different stages of the little ones life. Realistically im thinking 10-15 year range. if i have any longer than that im sure we will just keep them for a novelty. but what corks would be good for 10-15 year aging?

Get the highest quality all natural cork (solid).

Even with the best cork it really depends on WHAT wine you will be aging. Big reds w/ alot of tannin is better than a blush...
