|
Bright gold. Decadently rich, honeyed, smoky aromas of fresh peach, yellow apple and tropical fruit. Nicely balanced on the palate, with lively acidity extending the fresh peach and tropical fruit flavors on the back. The creamy-rich finish is perked up by lingering floral and delicately spicy notes. Winemaker J-L Groux likes his icewines rich but graceful. 'I don't like to harvest at -12°C because the wine becomes too rich,' he told me. We try to keep them balanced and aim for a little less residual sugar than most.' These grapes were harvested on December 14, which Groux described as early, 'but the early picking date gave us better aromatics and varietal character.' With an icewine this complex and precise, he'll get no argument from me. Score - 92. (Ian D'Agata, International Wine Cellar, Feb. 2012)
