  Id like to ditto the 2013 review. I opened it thinking I was going to throw it away. Turns out it was fantastic. What a surprise and theres probably none left in the world. Too bad, we really enjoyed it.

  The wine has matured and seemingly become sweeter over time. Heh.
  Hints of pollen and honeysuckle with some light caramel on the nose
  As an ice wine, it is sweet - honeydew melon with apple and hints of mango. The wine has a sizeable thick body almost syrupy, but not overly sweet, when properly chilled. Light finish that floats off ones tongue.

  In Vino Veritas Session 5 (MIT): WHAT?! Where did THIS come from? An island in the middle of a lake in Vermont??? Light copper color. Nose like a combination of triple-concentrated Manischewitz grape juice and concentrated mango juice. Unbelievably intense on the attack - almost eye-wateringly so. Sometimes you'll taste something that is so unbelievably sweet and so unbelievably acidic at the same time that your saliva glands just can't cope and they almost start hurting. Well I love that sensation, and this delivers in SPADES. This is *so sweet* (21% residual sugar) but it has such an unbelievably huge amount of acid that it finishes remarkably clean. I'd had very little luck with ice wines up until tonight, but whoa. This might be a bit too much for some people, but what a wine! Rounded out nicely by some flavor components I can't identify because I'm still trying to stop my eyes from watering. $45 / 375 ml.

  Strong alcohol on the nose with subtle honey and wildflower aroma's. The palette presents with with some honey and citrus. Finish is nice albeit some what thick and with flavors of honeysuckle.
