Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
LAKEVIEW CELLARS |
One of 72 items (60% of 136 releases) not presented for evaluation under new LCBO policies. This REPEAT last appeared in Vintages (***) with 90-points on March 17, 2018 at $34.95 and was an Explorer Selection. Here is my previous note: Bright pale straw colour. Intense, honeyed, spicy, raisiny nose with some ripe apricot notes. Very sweet, medium bodied, gently viscous, spicy, bright apple pie flavours with a lingering, caramel-tinged finish. Quite ready-to-drink. Has 11% alcohol and now 138 g/L residual sugar. |
