Buglioni, Il Lussurioso Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2016

RRP N/A in UK

Showy and opulent with contrasting richness and freshness. The intense aroma has green peppercorn, raisins and tobacco. Rich and vigorous strike. Compact, full boded but accessible. The thick tannins smooth out if you decant this and have rich black chocolate bitterness, while herbal aromatics of marjoram and cumin linger on the finish.
