1993 Barolo Cascina Francia

The 1993 Barolo Cascina Francia exhibits a dark ruby color with purple nuances, in addition to aromas of roasted herbs, tobacco, tar, kirsch, and dried cherries as well as some volatile acidity. In the mouth, it is dense, medium to full-bodied, with good concentration, and dusty tannin in the finish. It can be drunk now, but promises to evolve for another 15-20 years.
