Does not like this wine:

Sunday, July 30, 2023 - After having such a life-changing Giacosa last week, this was a real disappointment. Came across overripe with strong VA both on the palate and nose. Kept a small pour overnight and the next day no discernible changes. Bottle variation or barrel variation more like it?
