| TASTING NOTE: ... I tried this recently and was impressed with the complexities a little age has brought to the table. It has a sensational nose of compoted tropical fruit, peach, apricot, wild honey and caramel-toffee notes. It's rich, textured, viscous and luxurious on the palate with gorgeous flavours of marmalade, roasted almonds and apricot jam flavours that are perfectly integrated. A totally decadent icewine drinking at its peak right now. Score: 92 (Rick VanSickle, winesinniagara.com, June 20, 2012) |
