VinoUS Media Review
Rated 95
Burnt blood orange, autumnal spices, candied ginger, dried nectarines and a lifting hint of mint create a kaleidoscopic bouquet as the 2022 Ben Rye blossoms in the glass. Weighty and velvety in feel yet remarkably fresh, it floods the palate with masses of tropical citrus, mango and papaya, all supported by a core of zesty acidity. The 2022 finishes with dramatic length and concentration. A peach nectar resonance and savory spices linger on and on. The 2022 is sure to join the ranks of the best vintages of Ben Rye. It finished at 200 grams per liter of residual sugar. Drinking Window 2024-2040.

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.
