1997 Giacomo Conterno 'Cascina Francia' : Alluring on the nose with floral notes and ripe dark red fruit.. Great color and notable concentration with resolved tannins and wonderful acid.. I absolutely loved. #Barolo #Nebbiolo #Marta

Out of mag. Great wine. A little cloudy due to bottom of the bottle for my 3oz pour but still so beautiful.

Really good stuff. Maybe a touch too much VA and a bit blocky, but maybe just it's company made it seem that way.

Balance with fruit and fresh acid. Wonderful wine. Will put some in my cellar for special occasions.

Another major, although I could've waited 10 to 20 more years to drink this morning. Also at Ringside.
