TASTING NOTE: Serious Platonic ideal of apricot preserves in this lovely Niagara icewine from Reif. Luscious layers of peach preserves fold over each other across your mouth and then bring on a tide of pleasurable sun-dappled orchard fruit on the finish. Pair with fruit flans and cobblers. Drink: 2016-2023. Score - 94 (Natalie MacLean, nataliemaclean.com, Nov. 12, 2016) |
