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)
Full of red fruit and spice characters with a honey texture.
The nose exhibits nuances of raspberries, cranberry cocktail and lime zest. The high acidity is even evident on the nose making one's mouth water almost instantly.
