| TASTING NOTE: ... This stunning version of red icewine blends Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Syrah … Nirvana; and here's why: The nose is very simple, honeyed-strawberries with a hint of apricot, but then you get it into your mouth and there's an absolute explosion of flavours. Initially, you'll get candy, in the form of a cherry drop, then raspberry and strawberry show up. You'll assume that's it, then you'll take another sip. The flavours ramp-up to another level as candy apple races through the mouth and you smack your lips, delicious. Now that your mouth is coated with this lavish nectar, another sip kicks it up another notch delivering cinnamon-caramel-apple with a touch of something spicy. Wow ... there's just so much going on here ... What are you waiting for? ... stop reading ... go get some. (Michael Pinkus, www.ontariowinereview.com, Dec. 11, 2007) |
