February 26, 2016 - VERTICALE CONTERNO BARBERA CASCINA FRANCIA: al naso è sicuramente la migliore dal 2001 al 2005, promette tanta gioventù che la bocca non mantiene. Esce l' annata magra, dal profilo acidulo e scarno. Vino striminzito, acidulo e di difficile scorrevolezza.

December 7, 2009 - Tar and berries on nose. Strong fruit, earthy mushroom note, modest tannins, good tartness. Good balance. Still going strong at 7 yrs.

May 4, 2009 - Tar and berries on nose, with more tar evident as the palate takes over. Strong fruit, modest tannins, quite tart with a mushroomy aspect. No more hotness as in earlier bottles. Getting nicely balanced as it gets older.

October 10, 2008 - Tar, Raspberry nose. Good tar and fruit that ends with modest tannins that give a very nice ending. A little bit hot.
