Score 95/100 · Drink 2013-2018, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jun 2013

Another of the highlights in this vertical tasting, the 1988 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva Sergio Zenato impresses for its freshness and vibrancy. The aromatics and flavors are naturally quite advanced, but there is a backbone of acidity that keeps the wine fresh, expressive and vibrant. It's fascinating to watch the wine turn explosive with time in the glass. Fresh, vibrant and pedigreed, the 1988 still has the stuffing to drink well for at least a few more years, it not more. This is one of my very favorite vintages. Interestingly, the 1988 includes a dollop of Sangiovese.
