Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
CHÂTEAU DES CHARMES |
Medium-light yellow colour. Spicy, bright, honeyed, baked apple and tropical fruit cocktail nose with some caramel notes. Attractive, sweet (209 g/L residual sugar), medium bodied, quite viscous, spicy, honeyed, ripe apple puree flavours with an elegant, lingering, caramel-tinged finish. This repeat is slightly better than the recommended 2009 (**+) released on September 15, 2012 at $25.95. |

TASTING NOTE: Some great complexity of flavour has been coaxed out of this lively vidal Icewine tasting beautifully right now. Flavours of creme brulee and caramel popcorn along with fleshy yellow peach and a buttery finish. More acidity than one would expect from this varietal add(s) great balance to this sweet and sour treat with great verve. Tasted December 2012. Score: 89 (Sara d Amato, winealign.com, Dec. 16, 2012) |
