SWEET REVENGE VIDAL ICEWINE 2007 VQA Short Hills Bench, Niagara Peninsula |
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
FLAT ROCK CELLARS |
A repeat of the 2007 (**/**+) released on March 28, 2009 at $44.95. A big drop of $10 a bottle. It rated **/**+ (85.5 points). Here is my note: Medium yellow colour. Very sweet, honeyed, baked apricot-apple nose with hints of fruit cocktail and a faint touch of lemon vinaigrette. Rich, intense, sweet, spicy, tangy, apple pie and canned tropical fruit cocktail flavours with a lingering, candied lemon finish. Screwcap closure. The preferred 2006 (**+) was released on June 21, 2008 at $44.95. |

TASTING NOTE: Shows light bright lemon colour. Very lifted aromas of peach-mango with lemon and a touch of plasticine that should fade with more bottle age. The whole thing has a light airy feel to it with a sense of purity despite some youthful bottling aromas. It has found icewine’s acid-sugar key. Excellent length. Score: 91 (David Lawrason, www.winealign.com, March 2009) |
