Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Zenato's 2006 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is a massive, towering wine bursting with black cherries, dried flowers, herbs and leather. The wine’s sheer concentration and richness have been achieved while maintaining considerable grace, even if this isn’t the most subtle Amarone readers will come across. Still, it’s impossible to deny the wine’s personality and class. This is a great effort from Zenato. (AG)

Zenato's 2006 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico emerges from the glass with sweet dark red cherries, chocolate, flowers, spices and licorice. Today the 2006 comes across as powerful, structured and tight, but all it needs is time, as I witnessed firsthand over the time I followed it. (AG) 94+

Wine Enthusiast
Beautifully polished and bright, Zenato delivers a knock-out Amarone that shows impressive richness and intensity. Soft oak flavors of spice, vanilla and leather are followed by bright cherry and blackberry aromas. The wine is penetrating and extremely smooth in the mouth.

Wine Spectator
Wonderful aromas of black licorice and blueberry follow through to a full body, with juicy, round tannins. Luscious and decadent. Might be better on toast! A gorgeous wine, this is the real deal for Amarone. Why wait? But a little bottle age should really bring it together. *Highly Recommended & #36 on the Top 100 of 2010*

Big and juicy wine, with loads of blueberry and dried blackberry aromas and flavors. Full and velvety, with gorgeous fruit and a long caressing finish.
