Tasting notes
Zenato's 2006 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico emerges from the glass with sweet dark red cherries, chocolate, flowers, spices and licorice. Today the 2006 comes across as powerful, structured and tight, but all it needs is time, as I witnessed firsthand over the time I followed it.

Zenato's 2006 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is a massive, towering wine bursting with black cherries, dried flowers, herbs and leather. The wine's sheer concentration and richness have been achieved while maintaining considerable grace, even if this isn't the most subtle Amarone readers will come across. Still, it's impossible to deny the wine's personality and class. This is a great effort from Zenato.
