Icewine Niagara Peninsula Cabernet Franc 2016

#AgedWineTuesday

Amber in color with a brown hue.

Sweet nose with cherries, overripe apples, oranges, honey, apricots, lemons, honeysuckle and Indian spices.

Full-bodied with high acidity and fat legs.

Sweet on the palate with apples, apricots, ripe pears, light black tea, herbs, light earth, Indian spices and chocolates.

Long finish with honey and spices.

This is a gorgeous Ice Wine made from Cabernet Franc grapes. Very complex at this point, engaging and interesting.

This 9 year old is nicely aged, sweet and delicious, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

Well balanced, sweet and easy drinking. Rich and extracted. Fruit forward and entertaining.

A great dessert wine, and good by itself.

Drank from a 375ml bottle.

11.5% alcohol by volume.

95 points.

$100 (current vintage).

Ciel du Cheval Vineyard Cabernet Franc - Merlot Blend 2015

Needs more time in the bottle or maybe 24 hour decant. Very linear. Great blend. Enjoyed! — 3 years ago

Mataro 2015

Mid Ruby red in colour with a tawny edge. Sour cherry with touches of pepper and cloves. Not as raspberry as I was expecting from old vine Mataro. With a couple of hours of aeration the raspberry notes started coming through finishing with Sandy tannins. This wine is made by the multi talented Andrew Caillard who is the supremo of Fine Wine retailer and auctioneer Langtons who allowed Andrew to make his superb range of wines under his own label using old vine Mataro and Shiraz; painted the exquisite labels himself and who achieved a Master of Wine in his spare time. I am lucky to have 5 of these beauties left. 96 points from James Halliday. — 4 years ago
