Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: March 7, January 4, December 16 and November 20.

Tasting note:

A gorgeous icewine redolent of apricot perserves, honeysuckle, guava and praline cream. I can't think of a better way to end a meal, or a day.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:

This Riesling Icewine is lush and decadent yet vibrant and exciting, with the hallmark, sweet-tart character of great Riesling Icewine. The wine offers a wonderful bouquet and flavours of citrus, green apple, guava and praline with mouthwatering persistence and length.
