Wine Enthusiast: 93 Points
This Amarone showcases the wine style's depth and finesse. Aromas of dark plums and blackberries are knit together with fresh and dried floral notes. The palate is well structured. A solid core of dark fruit is balanced with flavors of dried spices, coffee beans, dark chocolate and forest floor. Tannins are presently giving the wine a backbone to uphold its richness. Drink now–2040.
Wine Advocate: 92 Points
The Buglioni 2018 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Il Lussurioso pours forth with an inky dark appearance and robust aromas of dried fruit, cured leather, spice, rosemary essence and barbecue ember. The wine's rich intensity is followed by a 16% alcohol content that you definitely won't overlook. There is a hint of sweetness on the close, and its texture is very rich and opulent. This is a very big wine at the end of the day, made with 60% Corvina, 20% Corvinone, 10% Rondinella, 5% Croatina and 5% Oseleta.
Decanter Magazine: 91 Points
(2022 Decanter World Wine Awards) Dried fruits sit alongside ripe plums, chocolate, coffee, and cigar box notes. Great volume on the palate with underlying acidity.
