LAKEVIEW CELLARS |
| This is one of 44 items (155 releases) not presented for evaluation under new LCBO policies. A REPEAT that last appeared in Vintages (also NOT PRESENTED) on March 16, 2019 at $29.95. Here is my previous note: Assessed in a comparative blind tasting of 14 red icewines at the 2019 Ontario Wine Awards. This was our sole GOLD medal winner! Bright medium red colour. Very attractive, sweet, spicy, vibrant, honeyed, ripe, raspberry-tinged, red and black cherry purée nose. Sweet but balanced, medium bodied, harmonious, spicy, honeyed, ripe strawberry flavours with a lingering, fairly high acid, bright, refreshing finish. Very tasty and ready-to-drink. Has 11% alcohol and 223 g/L residual sugar. |
