Giacomo Conterno, Barolo, Cascina Francia 2008 CJF Selections Its smooth and creamy effervescence1. 5cm 96 Points James Suckling One of the best Cascina Francias in a long time. It shows aromas of melons and plums with hints of hazelnut and coca. Full body and dense with gorgeous silky tannins and an incredible finish. The texture is wonderful. Pure velvet. Chocolate and cedar. Orange peel. So long and beautiful. Love the finish. Very approachable now but better in four or five years. 12 2012 95 Points Wine Advocate The 2008 Barolo Cascina
