Score 92/100 · Drink 2001-2015, Robert Parker, Aug 2000
The dense purple-colored 1997 Chianti Classico La Casuccia (another micro-production of 8,000 bottles) is full-bodied, powerful and opulent, with a flamboyant personality. Long, with lots of tannin as well as richness and structure, it will benefit from 1-3 years of cellaring, and will keep for 15+ years. A Leonardo Locascio Selection, Winebow, Hohokus, NJ; tel. (201) 445-0620
