Zeni Barriques Amarone della Valpolicella 2016

Exquisite balance of ripe fruit and oak here, melding together nicely on the full-bodied palate with well-placed tannins that create a pleasant, velvety and fruity carpet that glides gently through the long finish. So well constructed and will be utterly delicious for a long while yet. Drink or hold [into mid-2030s]. Score – 94. (jamessuckling.com, Dec. 5, 2021)
