July 9, 2022 - Deep, almost opaque ruby. Piercing aromas of creosote and herbs. Medium body, powerfully acidic and mineral. Lean blackberry fruit and menthol. This begs for food. Electric, no question about that.

September 3, 2020 - A reminder that I should drink more Barbera. This Francia drinks beautiful now iwith balanced caramel, rose and strawberry notes.

July 2, 2020 - coming into a good stride? Cherries and cola everywhere but now balancing the oak elements. Good, open acidity. Cherry and cola still a bit on your face, it needs food but drinking quite well as a richer Barbera. Heat on nose has gone away, after 1 hour. Enjoyed

December 28, 2019 - Some oak, spicy nose, cherries, open bouquet. Very structured it seems, firm acid, decent fruit finish.
