ready-keep2009 Changyu Golden Valley Ice Wine, Blue Diamond Label, Liaoning

Changyu's Blue Label Ice Wine is made from the second press, and reaches 160g/l. A more intense wine than the Gold label, with a spicy honey note and a richer viscosity, with aromas of lychee and pear. Almost any flavour of ice cream works well (the acidity acts as a counterpoint) or cream cheeses.
