This collection, featuring a plethora of Champagne, comes from the cellar of a consignor in Toronto. All bottles have been stored in temperature and humidity - controlled conditions.
The rating for 2004 Zenato Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore is 91 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The 2004 Valpolicella Superiore Ripassa (80% Corvina, 10% Rondinella and 10% Sangiovese) comes across as big and somewhat chunky, but it is also full of character. Deep in color, its powerful frame is packed with dark, jammy fruit, licorice and cocoa, as well as tannins that will require a few months of bottle age to soften. It is an outstanding effort.
