It's been a long time since I had an Ice Wine, my long wait has been compensated for with this wine. Aromas of luscious guava, passion fruit and quince paste saturate the nose with same delicious taste effect on the palate.
My new Canadian followers(cyber-friends) I think will approve this wonderful example of Ice Wine. Thanks Canada! 🇨🇦 — 9 years ago

Absolutely deliscious Cab blend. Amazing value. — 11 years ago
2004—part of a Vieux Telegraphe vertical. Excellent, with layers of good dark fruit and hints of leather and smoke, plus a nice earthiness overall. A lesson for me on the effect of bottle age. (And also how pro ratings can be off the mark—this was wonderful!) Drinking nicely now... — 11 years ago
Really in a good place. — 11 years ago
A spectacular wine still showing lots of black fruit along with developing leather, coffee, sweet notes, and some nice menthol. Palate is elegant with plenty of bramble fruit and spice. Texture is velvety without the typical Aussie Shiraz milkshake effect. Finish is a solid medium. — 11 years ago

Светло-соломенное с зеленью. Очень свежее. Кислотность не чувствуется. Достаточно плотное, тельное, средняя маслянистость. Цитрусовые, цветы. Послевкусие пряное. Очень-очень круто! На каждый день, бюджетно. — 10 years ago
I was actually really surprised by this wine, as I am typically not a Shiraz fan. — 10 years ago
Hands down winner from today's #Elevenses @Christie's Wine. Bottled in the 70s, recorked in 2011. Sercial, so you know the acidity is in full effect, but the wine is really harmonious and balanced. It's not as "offbeat" as some other older Madeiras I've had, and honestly would be straightforward to pair with food...roast chicken, for one. — 11 years ago

Medium body. Had it with lasagna and it paired beautifully! Cherry, blackberry with a bit of that oak aging effect. Had a nice finish. Will definitely buy again. — 11 years ago
