Sergio Zenato Riserva Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2018

Dense garnet, with a nose of walnut husks, toasted black pepper, sour cherries and ash. Smooth and soft on the palate, with a full body and ripe, silky tannins balanced by zesty acidity. Lovely fruit with an extremely long, nutty aftertaste. Very attractive. Drink now. Score – 95. (jamessuckling.com, May 1, 2024)
