Producer |
LUNDY MANOR |
| This is one of 68 items (125 releases) that was not going to be presented for evaluation under new LCBO policies. A REPEAT of the 2016 that last appeared in Vintages (***/***+) with 94-points on February 16, 2019 at $45.95 and was Recommended. Here is my previous note: Bright medium gold colour. Attractive, spicy, honeyed, wildflower nose with some Seville orange marmalade notes and a touch of buttery caramel. Sweet, medium bodied, harmonious, elegant, spicy, honeyed, Seville orange marmalade flavours with a lingering, bright, gently buttery, citrusy, warm caramel finish. Aged in French Acacia barrels, it has 12.4% alcohol and 199 g/L residual sugar. Keep in mind that $45.95 per 375 ml works out to only $24.50 per 200 ml bottle. |

| TASTING NOTE: This wine was awarded 90 points by Michelle Bouffard of winealign.com and earned a Gold Medal at the 2018 National Wine Awards of Canada. It was aged in French acacia barrels, which adds a lovely floral honeyed note to the citrus, apple and tropical tones. This floral, lush, balanced, crisp Icewine with its fresh, lively acidity is a fine example of this classic Ontario style. Rich enough to enjoy on its own, it will also be great with a mango-banana sorbet. (Vintages panel, Dec. 2018) |
