REIF ESTATE |
| Bright golden amber colour. Attractive, very sweet, complex intense, very faintly smoky, warm baked apple and creme brulee nose. Intense , very sweet (237 g/L residual sugar), medium to medium-full bodied, viscous, harmonious, mouth filling, honeyed, slightly spicy, bright, ripe, melon-apricot-apple purée flavours with a lifted butterscotch- creme brulee finish. Classic - one of the best yet! The recommended 2011 (**/**+) was released on September 14, 2013 at $24.95. |

A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: I would much rather more Niagara producers go for this almost Sauternes-style icewine when using vidal, then leave the elegant icewines for riesling. This golden-amber elixir has a terrific nose of rich crème brulee, orange marmalade, peaches and a hint of honey. It's very sweet, thick and creamy/oily in texture with just enough underlying, balancing acidity. Outstanding length! Will be great with fruit flans, peach pie!
