graceful Barolo Cascina Francia looks to be accessible relatively early

complicated by nuances of violet and flint

with an opaque bluish/purple color to the rim

it is fresh and elegant and from a cooler (more Atlantic) vintage with more rain than the average and a relatively late harvest between September 28th and October 12th

Bright and nicely focused

Gould Campbell, Vintage other_regions graceful Barolo Cascina Francia looksMedium deep ruby. Liqueur like aromas of black raspberry, black cherry, cassis, smoked meat, minerals and maple syrup. Juicy, intensely flavored and medium sweet; not unctuous but offers very good intensity and snap. Flavors of black fruits and licorice. A round, nicely balanced wine whose slightly fiery but persistent finish features rather fine tannins and good grip. Stephen Tanzer
