2002 Brother Riesling Icewine

An icewine of medium copper colour and medium nose of maple syrup, raisin, caramel, apricot with touch of grapey and peach. Sweeter than medium sweetness with medium acidity. Lower than medium alcohol and medium bodied. Quite high intensity flavours of honey, raisin, melon, and touch of caramel. Fairly long length with honey and raisin finish. (89) A simple and fruit sweet wine which keeps the fruit well, as evidenced by its intensity and length. Complexity is not an issue here for someone who only looks for fruit, but it lacks of some alcohol bite.

簡單、直接、果味主導的冰酒。對喜愛簡單果味的人來說是好的選擇，但酒精感弱，有D似飲果汁。

冰酒的甜味好重，但這酒的酸度給予好的清爽感，可惜餘韻比想像短。我第一個感覺好似一枝濃縮提子汁。

一枝須要一點時間的酒，現階段飲是頗酸的，但酒質清爽而不膩，兩三年後應更佳。

2004 Chateau de Charmes

This Riesling-made ice wine is pale gold in colour. It is lucisously sweet with pronounced honey, apricot, pineapple and peach flavour on nose. The body is full and alcohol medium. The acidity is high while the flavour carries throughout the whole sip. (90) (Tasted on 26 January 2009, reposted)

1998 Pillitteri Ice wine, Canada

Tasting this wine with vanilla ice cream is a good match. A strong nose of honey is noted which is usual for an ice wine but the sweetness is so strong that it feels a little bit cloy. The honey-yellow wine is viscous with a taste of maple leaf. The acidity is comparatively weak but it is still refreshing when having it with ice cream. (84) (Posted on 22 August 2008, reposted)
