Just a superb late-harvest vin de glace made from Viognier. An absolutely case-worthy buy when on sale. As noted previously, this is an unctuous and well made sweet dessert wine, with tastes of candied apricots, peaches and apples, with spice afternotes. The acidity nicely balances the overload of sweetness in the glass. Very well crafted.

Tastes of candied apricots, peaches and apples, with spice afternotes. An unctuous and well made sweet dessert wine. Nicely balanced with bracing acidity to match the sugar overload. As refreshing as it is to drink now, my bet is that another 5-6 years in the bottle will smooth it out even more, and lead to a higher score.

Lovely and lively dessert wine, on the "lighter" end of the sticky spectrum. Beautifully aromatic and balanced. Also a fantastic value.

An absolutely delicious ice wine - a perfect desert wine - well balanced with 16.5 % Residual Sugar
