Bukkuram Padre Della Vigna 2019 Passito / De Bartoli

Sibel Nur - Good wine, hard to justify the price

7/10

Got this as a birthday present and I enjoyed it a lot, proper intense dried fruit flavours and it smells amazing straight out of the bottle. The long finish is genuinely impressive. But if I'm being honest, I wouldn't spend nearly £80 of my own money on it when there are solid Passitos for half that.

8/10

Tried a glass of this at a restaurant in Marsala last summer and spent weeks trying to find it back home. It's a proper Passito — loads of dried fruit but there's a freshness underneath that keeps you coming back. Genuinely one of those wines where you just sit and think about what you're tasting.

Natasha Volkov - Special occasion wine

9/10

Bought this for my wife's 40th and wow, it did not disappoint. The dried fruit thing is real — raisins, figs, all that good stuff. It just keeps going after you swallow, like the flavour hangs around for ages. Pricey at £78 but for a big birthday it felt worth it.

Daniel Oyama - Interesting but not sure I'd rebuy

7/10

The guy at my local wine shop talked me into this and it's definitely different from what I usually drink. Really rich and concentrated, almost like a dessert wine but not as sweet as I expected. The acidity stops it being cloying which is nice. Bit steep for what it is though — I'd want to be closer to £50.

Marcus Blackwell - Absolutely stunning after dinner

9/10

Opened this after a big Sunday roast with the in-laws and everyone went quiet for a second after the first sip. So much going on — really complex and layered, and the finish goes on forever. De Bartoli clearly know what they're doing. Already planning to grab another bottle for Christmas.
