Donnafugata Ben Ryé Passito di Pantelleria 2004
Sicily, ItalyZibbibo, also known as Muscat of Alexander, is used to make the dessert wine Moscato di Pantelleria. Look for a rich honey, floral, dried peach nose with raisin, melon and spicy quince aromas. Very fresh. Ripe, fat, rich but elegant. Lots of dried apricot, guava, spicy, nectarine, baked pear flavours. Good intensity but fresh in a sweeter style (19.2% residual sugar). Lovely wine.Tasted: 14 November 2005Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $38.99 | 375ml | speculative listing - Maxxium Canada |
