Passito di Pantelleria, the nectar of gods

The sweet wine Passito di Pantelleria from the island of Pantelleria is a special wine. It is made of the grape zibibbo (also known as Moscato d'Alessandria). From my experience a passito from Pantelleria need several years to mature. If drunk to young it is good but with a couple of years in the bottle it goes from good to excellent, it turns into the nectar of the gods. This time I tasted the Passito di Pantelleria from producer Buffa. The vintage is 2004, so it is quite an old wine. The ABV is 14%. The colour of the wine is dark amber. One can see the age of the wine in the colour. The nose if of honey and raisin. The taste is long and full of raisins with almost a burnt oxidized taste. Wonderful, this is a wine I wish I could drink every month.
