| | this sounds like a definite step down from the 97-99 run for this offering. is that your take as well jason or are you just a stern grader and a few points below ST RP etc. | | | |

| I am not the easiest grader, but if you have had the 2001 non-classico that is a step up from this.
Any wine I score 87+ I would have no problem purchasing again, especially since it is probably equivalent to most people's 90. | | | |

| | thanks for the calibration. in fact i had the 01 CCR tonite, thought it a step down from the 00 and definitely down from the 97-99. in fact, followed it up with a 97, there's a marked difference, complexity, finish, fruit, etc. 97 is just better all around. | | | |

| | I have not had any other vintages except the 00 Riserva and the 01 normale from Felsina. The 2000 Riserva is definitely much more structered and will be better in a few more years, where as the 2001 CC drinks really great right now. | | | |
