  No deterioration across 4 days of consumption. Add passion fruit and a little plumb to the TN below. Lactic notes are wonderfully modest, unobtrusive and well integrated. Sadly, this was my last bottle.

  6/26/2017 - Soteriologist Likes this wine: 91 Points

  This is the first very, very reasonably priced white wine that has spent time in oak which brings me to my knees and doesn’t bother me with overly lactic notes.
  
  Nose of ripe golden delicious apple, melon, subtle nettles and an ever so little hint of that woody butteriness, but so subtle it doesn’t suppress the sparkling fruitiness at all. Palate of lemony melon and some nutmeg bitterness in the length. Really round and well balanced. The fruit has such weight on the palate one could almost be a little surprised that this should be dry. Makes for the considerable yummy moreishness - literally hard to stop sipping this.
  
  I wanted to give this a 92 on day 1, but that was the best day. Observation over 5 evenings, skipping one, show it is deteriorating slightly. Still an 89 - 90 on day 5.
