So weird/ disappointing. 2 bottles, both pristine, great corks. One tasted like great brunello (though with a touch of raisin I probably wouldn’t otherwise note/comment on) the other tasted like raisiny desert wine. Wish i could say the latter had gone bad-but it didn’t seem like a corked bottle. Just bad wine. Take the notes of bottle variation from others here very seriously.
Ive been laying a lot of CdN TN down and this makes me very nervous… hopefully just confined to 07.
Needs some air- hour 3 was by far the best. Very good , but a hint of sour, and not as much secondary flavor as I would like to see. Does it need more time??

Hard to believe this 24 years old. Still some youth to it… but getting some nice scondary noutes. Comes alive with a bit of air- give 2 hrs in decanter.
Fuller / rounder than an 87 dunn HM we drank with
