Despite the 2009 "Drink By Date" here on CT, this wine is still rather fabulous. Color is noticeably darker than the last bottle. Great apple and a bit of peach with a lip smacking tartness. This would have been a great pairing with an apple based dessert such as tarte tatin. Outstanding.

Really dark--more like a slightly diluted coke. Honey and orange peel on the nose. Quite sweet but also tart on the palate. Not cloying by any means, this is a solid dessert wine that will not overpower. Excellent.

Probably past the recommended drinking window. Medium orange in color, much darker than a typical ice wine. Age? Thick and rick with flavors of peach and appricot. Can't give it 100 points, but if scoring 88-89.

Beautiful sweet and deep aromas of apricot, orange peel, and white flowers. Very smooth and silky on the palate with apricot and peach flavors. Not too viscous or overbearing at all. Sweetness peaks on the finish.

Sweet and delicious tangerine and peach flavors. Viscous mouthfeel with lingering finish.
