TN: 1999 Giacosa Barbaresco Asili

After 90 minute decant, this was still pretty ungiving. Some tar, some tobacco, but you could not call this generous. Still some tannin, just enough to provide good grip. Maybe I will give the bottle more air next time.

I had a somewhat similar experience with the 98 Asili last month. I felt that it needed time, and not just air.
