This dessert wine has a lovely, rich golden tint. The nose offers candied apricot and honey, while the palate shows that yummy stone fruit and a touch of citrus, along with plenty of acidity. — 4 years ago

First post baby wine in 9 months. Didn't have time to plan for a decanter so used aerator and some more aeration to open it up. Dried fruit, berries, figs. Rich and delicious. Chocolate, spice, fantastic. — 7 months ago

Amber in color with a brown hue.

Sweet nose with cherries, overripe apples, oranges, honey, apricots, lemons, honeysuckle and Indian spices.

Full-bodied with high acidity and fat legs.

Sweet on the palate with apples, apricots, ripe pears, light black tea, herbs, light earth, Indian spices and chocolates.

Long finish with honey and spices.

This is a gorgeous Ice Wine made from Cabernet Franc grapes. Very complex at this point, engaging and interesting.

This 9 year old is nicely aged, sweet and delicious, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

Well balanced, sweet and easy drinking. Rich and extracted. Fruit forward and entertaining.

A great dessert wine, and good by itself.

Drank from a 375ml bottle.

11.5% alcohol by volume.

95 points.

Deep burnt orange in color with a lighter orange cream mousse and tiny bubbles. Wonderful nose of dried apricots and honeysuckle. This is echoed on the rich (of course) palate. Lowish (medium minus) acidity — it’s Vidal after all — offset by the tingle of the bubbles. Stone fruity moderate finish. Hard to dislike any icewine, even if it’s Vidal, and the bubbles add a surprising element of fun to this one. A nice celebratory dessert wine to drink with your birthday cake or New Year’s pudding. Will likely lose some bubbles after a decade, but should satisfy through 2039 and beyond. — 4 years ago
