Rather one-dimensional. Good fruit (dried prunes, raisins) and balance of sweetness and acidity. But, not much "there" there. Still, it's a bit of a crowd-pleasure for those just getting into the dessert wine world.

This bottle wasn't as good as some others have been, and it was shown up by an almost perfect Henry of Pelham cab franc icewine. That being said, it was a nicely balanced wine, a bit short on the finish and not as polished. Fruit was a bit muted too.

This is as good as it gets - tannins and sweetness combined to make a very special experience. Well worth hunting down while cruising the wineries. Too bad they can't ship this outside of Canada otherwise I'd have yet another expensive vise.

A Weekend in Excess; 1/20/2012-1/21/2012 (Trondheim, Norway): (Blind) Quite dark with a watery brim; warm and primary smell; raisins and dark berries in combination, good freshness, moderately sweet.
