"Attractive dried fruit here, with dates, dark chocolate, blackberries, cedar and warm spices, such as cinnamon and cloves. Full-bodied, very smooth and flavorful, with melted tannins and a long, bittersweet finish. Super-smooth and complete Amarone that is satisfying to enjoy now. Drink or hold." (94 pts. James Suckling, Aug. 2022)
"This is the relatively new top-shelf wine from Tommasi that operates as a brand apart. The 2011 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva De Buris is held back at the winery for long aging and hits the market more than a decade later. Its tertiary aromas are fully developed, but this wine is well endowed with dark fruit intensity that will help it hold for more years to come. Dried blackberry, grilled herb and camphor ash make for a full-force bouquet in old-school Amarone style. The tannins are soft and layered into super thick concentration." (94 pts. Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Oct. 2023)
“The Tommasi family are important landowners in Valpolicella and produce a wide range of Veronese reds. Their super-premium De Buris selection is produced from the two-hectare La Groletta vineyard overlooking Lake Garda. The wine offers a strong menthol note up front with aromas of fig, prune and dark chocolate. Full and sweet, the palate displays ripe, juicy fruit flavours in an unobtrusive structure, with a gentle and relaxed finish. Fully ready.” (94 pts. Michael Garner, Decanter, Nov. 2023)
“Darker and richer than the 2013 placed beside it, the 2011 Amarone della Valpolicella de Buris smolders with depths of crushed black cherries, cocoa powder, blood orange and sweet pipe tobacco. It is seductively silken, nearly fleshy in feel, with masses of tart red berry fruit and zesty acidity to balance. Opulent yet expertly balanced, the 2011 finishes with dramatic length, leaving a web of fine-grained tannins and a bite of sour citrus. Beautifully done.” (96 pts. Eric Guido, Vinous, Sept. 2025)
