Thoughts on Passito

Post by rich_n »

I came across this in Lidl a couple of days ago and was interested to hear if anyone has tried it (or the same style from a different producer):

I have a few bottles of the Donnafugata Passito di Pantelleria Ben Ryé (1 x 2012 and 2 x 2014 both in 375ml size), but I haven't tried one yet. I'll crack one open later next week after I knock off this 2002 Roriz VP and let you know. I don't think the brand you're showing is highly rated (i.e., not in the 90's. CellarTracker scores only pop up for 2 vintages at ~88 pts. each), but it's solidly rated. At that price I would take a flyer on a few bottles.
