ZENATO AMARONE 2015 - Valpolicella - Veneto - Italy - Red Wine

   

Country : France 

Region : Amarone
Type : Red
Year : 2015
Volume : 75 cl

WINEMAKER NOTES : Ruby red in color, this wine offers intoxicating aromas of dried black cherries, cassis, truffles, and chocolate fudge. On the palate, it is silky, luscious, and complex, with a lingering finish. Pair with osso bucco, Bordelaise sauces, wild boar ravioli, or grilled cowboy ribeyes.

WINE CRITICS : James Suckling (94) While this is heady and spicy, it’s also quite reserved for this producer, framing glazed cherries and dried meat against a backdrop of citrus and roasted herbs. The ornately woven texture and generous fruit work very well with the linear acidity and firm-tannin bite. Really excellent.

WS90Wine Spectator This is well-balanced and medium- to full-bodied, layering creamy tannins with a juicy profile of ripe black raspberry and currant fruit, woodsy spice, minerally graphite and smoke notes. Accessible and elegant. Corvina, Rondinella, Oseleta and Croatina. Drink now through 2025.

D90Decanter Dense, earthy and concentrated, yet well-honed in its fruit, tannin and new oak; with some ageing time ahead. Drinking Window 2019 - 2026
