A lovely pink with ruby highlights, the ’23 Icewine exhibits a sexy nose of strawberry and cranberry that needs a minute to warm up to show the added complexity of red currants, dried autumn leaves and nutty Turkish delight. On the palate it displays a rich, sweet, vigorously insistent attack of spiced redcurrant jelly that settles into strawberry cordial with a delicate hint of Chartreuse liquor on the excellent finish. Sweet enough to vie with almost any dessert, the berry flavors of this really call for something like a strawberry Pavlova or berry cobbler.
