89 Scavino Cannubi vs Bric del Fiasc - Both purchased on release 1993 Decanted @3:30 served @7:30. Perfect corks.
Bric del Fiasc had lots of sediment, showed 20 years older with loads of nail polish on the nose. Put it in the decanter and hoped it would blow off, but sadly it did not…..
Luckily the Cannubi was fine it had some fine sediment, a dark ruby core and tight nose. Tart cherry fruit, floral and earth notes, fine tannins, good balance and finish. Still young has upside

Compared to the last one I had about a year ago this was a lovely surprise. Very pretty, fresh, deep fruit, not over-oaked to my nose or palate, with terrific structure and tannin. Nice stuff, at least this time.

Tasted blind. Overwhelming vegetal nose, rotten vegetables. I couldn’t place it. On the palate it was ok but not great.

A last glass from a bottle opened for dinner last night.
Tar & roses on the nose; sour cherry fruit on the palate, with good acidity. Very nice. Unfortunately, my last bottle.

Neb Vinous Blind 1989 Barolo & Barbaresco Dinner (Buona Notte, NYC): [Double decanted for one hour at around 10am.] Big smoky nose. Cherry and tar on a medium length finish. A bit disappointing given how this showed young.
