Half the advantage is the absence of TCA/TCB. The other half is the standardized OTR, ensuring better ageability. Another slight advantage is that the lignin is removed, so the woody extractables are gone. SO2 retention is superior with DIAM, compared with raw corks. DIAM closures have much less cork dust and breakage than natural punched corks.

With Diam the variability of corks has been eliminated. Not only is TCA out of the picture but the OTR (oxygen transfer rate) variability has been eradicated too. This allows those of us who make wine to place a consistent product in the bottle year in and year out without having a bad cork determine the ultimate quality of the wine.
