Incredible dessert wine
Bought this for my wife's birthday and we were both blown away. It's like liquid honey with apricot — so sweet but somehow not too much? The acidity keeps it fresh. We had it with a cheese board and it was perfect.

Lovely but pricey
Got recommended this by a guy at the wine shop when I said I wanted something special for Christmas dessert. It's genuinely delicious — all honeyed fruit and golden raisin vibes. At £65 though, it's firmly a treat rather than a regular buy.

Perfect after-dinner wine
Had this at a dinner party at a friend's house and had to find out what it was. It's like fancy marmalade in a glass — orange peel, apricot, honey. Really thick texture but doesn't feel heavy because there's good acidity underneath. Treated myself to a bottle for my birthday.

Good but I expected more
Maybe I overhyped it in my head because of the price tag but I found it a bit one-note sweet for me. The honey and baked peach thing is nice enough and the finish is properly long. Just not sure it justified the spend when there are solid Sauternes for less.

Great with blue cheese
Picked this up in duty free on a whim. The mango and lychee notes really surprised me — wasn't expecting tropical from a Riesling. Had it with some stilton and it was a brilliant combo. Only 9.5% too so you can enjoy it without getting floored.

This stuff is unreal
Never had an icewine before and oh my god. Poured some for friends after dinner and everyone went quiet for a second. Thick and sweet like honey but then there's this citrusy zing at the end that just makes you want another sip. Already ordered another bottle.

Canadian icewine done right
I've been getting into dessert wines lately and this Inniskillin is solid. The Riesling grape gives it a nice freshness you don't always get with sweet wines. Candied fruit and honey on the nose, proper peach tart flavours when you drink it. Would score higher if it wasn't quite so steep price-wise.

Nice but not sure it's worth £65
Tried this at a tasting event and really enjoyed it so tracked down a bottle. The apricot and honey flavours are gorgeous and it's way less heavy than I expected for a dessert wine. But honestly for that price I'd want a bigger bottle — you don't get much for your money with icewine.
