As Jancis now allows others to post TNs on her page, I am not sure who wrote this but it seemed way out of the ordinary for this publication:
Marco De Bartoli, Vergine Riserva NV Marsala
Tasted blind. Pale orange. A hint of vomit on the nose. But attractive sweetness and some dried peel character. Very transparent and appetising. Good acidity. But rather fragile. Not quite sweet enough for a pud.
19% Drink 2012-2025

Did they like it or hate it? I can't quite tell from the note.

Re: TN from Jancis Robinson's Purple Pages
It would be interesting to know which wine exactly this review is referring to.
The only Vergine Riserva at Marco De Bartoli's is 1988 and as a "vergine" style, it is supposed to be dry (between 0 and 40 grams per liter of sugar), so not suited for desserts.
We have no access to the Purple pages, but maybe you can tell if there's a picture or some more detail.
Thanks,
Marilena on behalf of the winery
