1999 Chateau des Charmes Vidal IceWine 375ml

The 1999 Château des Charmes Vidal Icewine from Niagara-on-the-Lake is a beautifully aged Canadian dessert wine that showcases the richness and elegance of botrytised Vidal grapes. Based on community reviews and expert impressions, here’s what you can expect:

Nose: Aromas of apricot jam, orange marmalade, and honey dominate, with hints of peach preserves and a touch of floral lift. Some tasters also noted a subtle oxidative character—like toffee or walnut—from extended aging.

Palate: Lusciously sweet and viscous, offering candied citrus, baked apple, and golden raisin flavors. The texture is thick and mouth-coating, yet balanced by a refreshing acidity that keeps it from feeling cloying.

Finish: Long and smooth, with lingering notes of caramel, citrus peel, and a faint nutty or herbal edge. A few tasters even picked up a whisper of hazelnut and green apple on the finish
