For those who like their wines to make a bold first impression…
Pillitteri Estates Vidal Icewine 2012, Niagara, Canada (N/A – the 2013 is £10.99/200ml at Laithwaites, £14.99/375ml at Lidl)
Exotic cocktail of crème brûlée, dried apricot, crystallised orange and rich caramel, there’s lots of fruit, and it’s intense and sweet, but while some will love this, I find it just a bit loud and forceful – where’s the subtlety? B
Simon – if you’ll excuse the lack of subtlety and you are caught by a sudden desire of another Pillitteri fix then try http://www.winesensations.co.uk/collections/pillitteri-estates for a selection of their icewines (including the 2012 Vidal Icewine) and various Pillitteri table wines too.
Will keep an eye out for them SImon
