Château Des Charmes
Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada
2005 Vidal Icewine
"The color is deceptively pale for the power too come, but the main draw here is the very, elegant, fine riesling-like presentation on the palate. Generous yellow apple, petrol, lemon and a touch of mint on the nose, with some youthful bready lees. Flavors stay right on track through to excellent length. A joy to drink" – David Lawrason, winerytohome.com, November, 2006
2004 Vidal Icewine
92 pts - “Intense dried apricot, mandarin marmalade, nalgene, mineral, floral, spicy aromas, very clean vidal. Rich, round, elegant style with good acidity and sugar balance. Lots of marmalade, red apple, spicy, apricot, nectarine skin flavors with a long fruity finish. Very fine Vidal Icewine." by Anthony Gismondi /David Lawrason, Wine Access, October, 2006
87 pts Highly recommended - “Rich, smooth and heavy as velvet, this wine’s honey- drenched flavours make a lovely backdrop to not-to-sweet spice and nut cakes." Wine & Spirits, USA, October 2006
4 stars - "Lifted, fragrant orange-pineapple, lemon and tea aromas. Full bodied, intense and sweet, with vibrant acidity..." by David Lawrason, Toronto Life, January, 2006
