Score 93/100 · Drink 2003-2025, Robert Parker, Jun 2001

Giacosa's 1997 Barolo Falletto de Serralunga is an exquisite Barolo offering superb notes of tar, earth, truffles, licorice, minerals, and cherry/raspberry fruit. There is plenty of acidity as well as high tannin, but concentrated, chewy flavors. The wine is tight, dense, impressive, and surprisingly structured for a 1997. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2025. A Leonardo Locascio Selection, Winebow, Hohokus, NJ; tel. (201) 445-0620
