CT indicates this was beyond the drinking window, but it wasn't. COnsumed last night with 2 other couples and it was terriffic. The color was rich and golden. The taste was perfect. It was the highlight of the evening, from a wine perspective. Absolutely YUM.

This bottle had leaked at some point in its live, a good 2 cm below the shoulder. The cork was a bear to get out, so obviously it had re-sealed, not sure why it leaked as it wasn't subject to heat fluctuations.
In any regard, a bit oxidized, but not badly. Nice amber color with wonderful nose of Grand Marnier, fresh sawn sandlewood, nuts, etc. The palate started off a bit bitter, but within 5 min relaxed to a wonderful Creme Caramel character. Really quite nice.

Wow! Outstanding Icewine. Lot's of Mango on the "sniffy sniff"...(this is my 1rst PTN & giving a "wink" to GV from Winelibrary.TV) with citrus notes, honet & a bit of my mother's date squares...great length! Enjoyed at my brother's opening pool party! Great day, great food, excellent desert wine for the occasion!

deep color, sweet nectar, but I suspect it was getting old -- should have not kept is as long.
