Needed a full 2 hours in the decanter. Super acidic, with a moderate amount of tannin. Bone dry and extremely full bodied. Not a typical fruit bomb. More leather and a hint of black olive. Excellent with steak. Surprisingly good pairing with bearnaise and tarragon mushrooms. Plays nice with herbs. Would buy again.

Remarkably good cab sauv icewine. Unlike many, pairs with food very well. Has a typical burst of sweetness on the front, but is quickly overtaken by a hit of acidity and with a medium clean finish. Pairs well with gently spicy foods like a pulled pork, and could even be served with an appetizer instead of just dessert. Recommended.

Needed about an hour at least in the decanter but still drinking well. Lots of dark fruit and pleasant, not overpowering tannins.
