Flourishing in early maturity, this lush, pure and vibrant riesling Icewine is a delight for the senses. Honey, peach, dried apricot, along with notes of pomegranate, wild dried herbs and lemon custard adorn the palate of this delicious nectar. A great intensity of minerality boosts the natural acidity and produces a terrific counterweight to the sweetness. Far from cloying, the wine finishes just as tart as it does sweet. Another decade in the bottle should result in hightened enjoyment. Score: 93 (Sara d'Amato, www.WineAlign.com, Dec 2012)
