Cave Spring 1999 Ice Wine Riesling (Niagara Peninsula)

Country: Canada / Ice Wine
Variety: Riesling Ontario
Winery: Cave Spring / Niagara Peninsula

Wow, is this sweet—tooth-achingly sweet. The aromas and flavors are relatively pure and free of botrytis; instead you get boatloads of ripe pear and melon flavors, huge thickness and weight, and decent acidity. Almost too rich and sweet for its own good.
