Deep, sherry/port brown in color. Dark amber rim. Opaque as can be.
Nose is bombarded with overripe apricot, maple syrup, and wild honey.
Unctuous on the palate with notes of apricot jam, molasses, and lots of honey. Full body with a heavy consistency. Uber sweet and cloying.
Finish was medium+ with notes of raisins and nuts. with zero tannins. No real structure, just a syrup bomb.
This was an experiment to see the effects of aging on ice wine. Perhaps it was slightly oxidized, but this was tasted way past its drinking window. 80 pts.

Like drinking a liquid apricot. Nice concentrated botrytis. Rich, thick, almost jelly-like texture. This is a bit monolithic and short on nuance, but quite fun and hedonistic.

the older reviews are bang on - liquid apricot - very sweet and concentrated - not complex, but fun and tasty

There are concentrated pear and peach notes on the nose. Very pure flavours on the palate, but it gets a bit sticky at the end of the mouth. Good.
