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.
