Notes
-----
This is a true icewine (made from grapes frozen naturally on
the vine by frost), and I got it in a 187ml bottle. This is
approximately a quarter of a regular-sized bottle--quite
tiny. But it's a very sweet wine and a little goes a long
way...and it's not cheap, so a smaller bottle makes a
smaller dent on your wallet.

I enjoyed this wine a lot. The color is a pale yellow, a bit
darker than straw. The scent is very fragrant, almost floral
in character, but fruity and sweet. The wine itself was very
nice--very sweet, with lots of citrusy fruit flavors such as
dried pineapple and apricot. (Our host suggested hints of
pear and butter.) There's also a hint of acid that balances
out the sweetness. It is not particularly thick or syrupy in
texture.

I found this wine to be very tasty. It lacks some of the
complex richness of the Trockenbeerenauslese--still my
favorite--but it is delicious in its own right.
