This vintage lays off the vanilla sundae–like sweetness of earlier editions, although a touch of sugariness gives a subtle boost to the fruit and texture. Mild, waxy nose of yellow plum–mango, clove spice and dusty notes mindful of a vitamin C tablet. Mid-weight, viscous and soft, with a warm, lemony finish. LCBO 598904
