VN8989 pts. - Vinous - Jun 2022 The 2020 Zibibbo in Pithos is perfumed and exotic in the glass, with layers of crystallized ginger, pungent yellow flowers, sun tea and blood orange forming its bouquet. This is soft, nearly glycerol in texture, coasting floral-laced young peach and mango across a core of saline-minerals. It leaves the palate dry, while also watering for more, but tapering off a bit shorter than anticipated. The Zibbibo in Pithos is refined completely in Amphora. While I really enjoy the uniqueness of the 2020, it lacks some of the energy of past vintages.
VN9191 pts. - Vinous - Jun 2021 The 2019 Zibibbo in Pithos is exotic and wickedly fresh, as musky dried apricot and tangerine gives way to minty herbs and hints of wet concrete. It’s deeply textural, almost glycerol-like in feel, with masses of inner florals resonating over notes of ripe melon and hints of kiwi, all kept in check by brisk acidity. This is so incredibly fresh and lifted but also lightly structured, tapering off like taking that first bite of a perfectly ripe yellow apple. What a fun wine. The Zibibbo in Pithos is a dry Muscat of Alexandria (known on Etna as Zibibbo) that’s vinified in amphora.
RP9999 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 30th Oct 2002 Buller, who has long been a supplier of fortified wines to the big Yalumba Company, has begun bottling under his own label, and, luckily for Americans, they have been picked up by a USA importer. The Tokay Calliope and Muscat Calliope are pure perfection. Both are amber-colored nectars with extraordinary perfumes, incredible richness, and finishes that linger on the palate, seemingly forever. At $50, they are a steal. The average age for the Calliope offerings is around 50 years of age. Australia continues to be a treasure trove for fortified, after-dinner wines. Once bottled, they do not change, and often age up to a decade where well stored. After opening, most will last for a week. This is one of the top wine discoveries of this year’s tastings. Many consumers are going to be overjoyed with these offerings.WE9898 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 12/15/2007 This is dark, almost black in color at the center, with greening evident at the rim. Syrupy, intense aromas of coffee and dark chocolate make an immediate impact on the nose, followed by syrupy, intense flavors of coffee and molasses. There’s mind-boggling concentration here, but just enough acidity to provide a sense of balance. Still, it’s hard to imagine drinking more than a couple of ounces of this at a time.SP9494 pts. - Wine Spectator - Sep 30, 2002 A deep, burnished brown color and explosive aromas mark this as a serious dessert wine, and the rich coffee, cream, cherry, caramel and exotic spice flavors roll across the palate on a silky texture.ST9494 pts. - Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar - Sep/Oct 2009 Deep, tawny color. Singed orange, cherry skin, toffee and marzipan on the nose. Broad, deeply concentrated burnt citrus and pit fruit flavors are complicated by brown sugar and orange peel, with exotic baking spice and floral qualities on the back end. This refuses to let go of the palate, finishing with excellent clarity, thrust and sticky persistence.
