2001 Giacomo Conterno, Barolo, Cascina Francia (RT Not Rated, Flawed bottle) As if to add insult to injury, Cascina Francia shows almost nothing on the nose but high tone, uber harsh volatile acidity. Absolutely horrible, obviously a very off bottle, for which we all groped for the reason. I had one on release that was stunning, but this is now closed down. Give it some cellar time.
