| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |

PILLITTERI |
| Medium light reddish colour. Sweet, strawberry-plum-raisin-caramel nose. Sweet, medium bodied, strawberry jam flavours with some honeyed, caramel notes. The first bottle tasted had some age issues probably related to a faulty cork closure. |

| TASTING NOTE: A most unique and striking rendition, wearer of many hats, confounding and curious. There is a funk about him that stands apart from the rest. Like a really well-aged, superb piece of washed rind cheese, then turning unabashedly sweet, with verve and symphonic tone. An orange sky of an Icewine, anti-bittersweet, accented by mace and anise, carob even ... Cabernet Sauvignon, in a vintage equipped with striking acidity, can turn into something to look forward to. One of the more interesting Icewines to date. Tasted January 2014. Score - 91 (Michael Godel, winealign.com, Jan. 17, 2014) |
