Mission Hill Reserve Riesling Ice Wine 2008
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaWe last tasted this wine at GOW in 2010. It now pours a golden brown hue, with strong and intense sesame oil, rancio on the nose and palate. The oxidative character is better integrated on the very sweet palate, imbuing birch syrup, fresh pressed apple cider, salts, worn wood through a lengthy roasted walnut finish. I like the savoury element here to counter the sweetness. If you've in cellar, drink now.Tasted: 10 February 2019Tasted by: Prices:BC | $60.00 | 375ml | winery direct and private wine shops |
