TASTING NOTE: ... Speaking of flavours, this one has a wow mouth factor strawberries and that includes: honeyed strawberries and a lengthy lingering red fruit finish. It smells sweeter than it tastes and that’s because of those persistent bubbles, which manages to tone things down. This is the old Ice Cuvee with a twist – the addition of the Franc for fruitiness and the reemergence of an icewine dosage you can taste ... Kudos to Peller for seeing the need to jazz up the old and making it new again. (Michael Pinkus, www.ontariowinereview.com,Feb. 18, 2008)
