Subtle nose with autolytic notes followed by red flowers, strawberry and raspberry. Fresh and complex, with chalky texture and long finish.
Nose is "vanilla lemon cake." The palate is a balance of caramel, vanilla, spices and citrus. I'm not sure if they made the opulent bottle to match the Whiskey or vice versa.
Aroma: Interlaced layers of buttercream sticky toffee cedar & apricot.
Taste: Smooth, well rounded mingling of sweet oatmeal raisin cookie & milk chocolate leading into caramel corn & evolving spice.
Finish: Charred oak leads with a clean peripheral spi
Taste: Dark caramel malt nuttiness & sweet graham cracker warmed by green peppercorn coriander spice& brightened with a hint of cedar
Finish: Tart apple crispness gives way to a long smoky finish full of toasted marshmallow chocolate & graham cracker
Has a nose on blackcurrant & cherry, accompanied by a beautiful spicy note. Crisp & fresh on the palate with a very beautiful expression of red fruit accompanied by fine & elegant tannins. The finish is as gourmet as you could wish.

Offers lovely density in an understated, mid-weight style that is quite appealing. Spice, orange peel, hazelnut, dried flowers and light caramel notes all grace this creamy Vin Santo from Volpaia. The 2015 is very nicely done.

The Vidal Icewine has intense aromas of mango, apricot and honey, beautifully integrated with flavours of peach and candied brown sugar, held together by crisp bold acidity.
Rich, with a spicy nose, this offers flavors of fig, dried apricot, mango and ginger. Complex and elegant, delivering concentrated creme brulee and tropical fruit notes that linger on the vibrant and buttery finish.
Richly aromatic with bright notes of citrus melon & pear. These same enchanting notes continue onto the palate with a silky entry that slowly builds to a long finish with lingering citrus. Crisp minerality & juicy acidity lift & support the generous fruit
