The Cheateau des Charmes Vidal Icewine 2009 is a beautiful icewine! Flavours of caramel and peach make this quite enjoyable. Tasted October 7,2013 (90/100)
Dan Trcka Wine Blogger rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

The 2009 Château Des Charmes Vidal Icewine 2009 is full of tangerine, apricot and light peach aromas. It is a full bodied, sweet, fruity wine, with good acidity, and a medium to long lightly syrupy finish. Enjoy on its own or drink with creamy or hard cheeses; drink now – 2018+. My impression: NICE, 89 pts. Tasted October/13.
