Score 94/100 · Drink 2013-2020, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jun 2013

One of the highlights in this tasting, the 1998 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva Sergio Zenato saturates the palate with black cherries, plums, chocolate, spices, tobacco and new leather. There is an exotic quality to the 1998 that is particularly compelling. This is a gorgeous, totally complete Amarone from Zenato.

Score 90/100 · Drink 2004-2015, Daniel Thomases, Wine Advocate, Aug 2004

Zenato is a sizeable negociant firm headquartered near Verona, but it also owns 175 acres of vineyards from which it makes some interesting selections. The best current offering is the 1998 Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva, rich and sweet on the nose with plum and berry jam front and center, ripe and supple flavors, much volume and density, and a lengthy, balanced finish. Drink: 2004-2015. Importer: Winebow, Hohokus, NJ; tel. (201) 445-0620
