The 2013 Buglioni Amarone della Valpolicella 'il Lussurioso' is a dark and brooding wine that opens to inviting aromatics of ripe dark cherries, blackberries and dark plums, which are accompanied by exotic spices, chocolate, wet stones and hints of licorice. On the palate this is full-bodied and beautifully polished, delivering a mouthful of ultra-ripe, juicy dark fruits, which are framed by lovely spice nuances. This continues to impress with its outstanding concentration and deep, layered texture. It all comes to an end with a long, juicy finish that leaves behind delicious ripe flavors lingering on and on. A fantastic Amarone that should handle a decade of cellaring with ease, by way wait, it so delicious right now.
