Zeni Barriques Amarone della Valpolicella 2016

Zeni Barriques Amarone della Valpolicella 2016Exquisite 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)
