VinoUS Media Review
Rated 94+
Exotic yet remarkably fresh, the 2023 Ben Ryé bursts from the glass with a seductive blend of white raisins, minty herbs, poached peaches and tropical citrus. It is weighty, rich and harmonious throughout, coming across as sweet but not cloyingly so. Ultra-ripe pit fruit combines with candied lemon and a crisp mineral tinge that adds form toward the close. Dramatically long, the 2023 leaves a resonance of sour melon and an air of confectionary spice while cleaning up well, leaving the palate completely refreshed. Drinking Window 2025-2035.
Wine Tasting Notes
The Donnafugata Ben Rye Zibibbo Passito di Pantelleria showcases its remarkable character and profundity from the start with its vibrant amber yellow hue. Following the initial burst of apricot and peach aromas, the bouquet presents a delightful blend of dried figs, honey, herbal nuances, and mineral undertones. On the palate, this wine leaves a lasting impression with its exceptional complexity, combining sweetness, savory notes, and a velvety texture. The finish is long and satisfying.
