| NO SHOW - one of 67 items (55% of 121 releases) not presented for evaluation under new LCBO policies. A REPEAT that last appeared in Vintages (***) on January 19, 2019 at $99.95. Here is my previous note: Vidal (89+ points): Forward medium gold colour. Very sweet, spicy, honeyed, caramel nose with some apple-apricot jam notes. Very sweet, medium bodied, spicy, honeyed, caramel-tinged, Seville orange marmalade flavours with a lingering, fairly high-acid caramel finish. Has 9.5% alcohol. Riesling (90 points): Forward medium yellow colour. Sweet, spicy, honeyed, intense, ripe apple purée nose. Sweet, medium bodied, spicy, honeyed, apple purée flavours with a lingering, Seville orange marmalade-tinged, caramel finish. Has 9.5% alcohol. Cabernet (90 points): Very faintly ambering light red. Spicy, honeyed, plum-cherry purée nose. Fairly sweet, medium to medium-light bodied, spicy, maturing plum apple purée flavours with a crisp, caramel finish. Has 9.5% alcohol. All three are quite ready-to-drink |

| TASTING NOTE: This triple threat from a Niagara giant brings a trio of takes on Ontario's original signature style together in one package. The Vidal/Cabernet Icewine will offer up red fruit and herbs; the Riesling will have ripe pear, melon and some honeyed notes; and the Vidal will have tropical aromas and flavours. All three will display great complexity and grace, with fine acidity balancing the sweetness and providing lift. |
