GEWÜRZTRAMINER ICEWINE 2019 VQA Niagara Peninsula, Ontario |
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
LAKEVIEW CELLARS |
Bright light yellow colour. Attractive, sweet, honeyed, faintly tropical, bright, ripe, apricot-mango-peach nose with some lemon-tinged, Seville orange marmalade and caramel notes. Sweet, medium bodied, harmonious, fairly rich, bright, ripe peach-mango-apple-lemon purée flavours with a lingering, bright, honeyed-caramel finish. This 2019 is ready-to-drink and has 11% alcohol and 197 g/L residual sugar with lot number 20181 on the lower part of the glass bottle. If you are buying it in a box, I suggest that you look at the bottle itself to make sure it is the correct vintage. The slightly preferred 2017 (***) was released on February 22, 2020 at $34.95. |

TASTING NOTE: Such a unique nose of ripe grapefruit, lychee nuts, spice, apricot tart and nutmeg/ginger notes. It's thick and unctuous on the palate with an array of compoted apricot jam, mango, spice, marzipan, tropical notes, peach preserve and juicy acidity on the finish. Excellent job here keeping it somewhat balanced. Score - 92 (Rick VanSickle, winesinniagara.com, Jan. 17, 2022) |
