Quails' Gate Late Harvest Totally Botrytis Affected Optima 2017
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaOptima is hardly a household name in BC, but this Quails’ Gate label never seems to disappoint from its rich ginger, apricot, floral nose to its honey, ginger spicy lime/apricot fruit. The nose is weightier than this juicy dessert wine that dances on the palate with freshness and bright acidity. Impressive, mouth-filling and more complex than most icewines. Now that it's under screwcap this is a great candidate for the cellar where it should sleep effortlessly for years.Tasted: 04 November 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $28.99 | 375ml | BCLS |
