This unfortunately was a failure. It was pleasant and fun at first but it developed a soapy note after an hour open and didn't have a great finish. It also lacked a nice mid palate character. A friend suggested that it might have been an overcorrection on total acidity with potassium or sodium carbonate. Either way, it didn't perform at its price level and I did not like it. I do not believe the flaw we tasted is something unique as another member of my wine group had tasted it before and said the same characteristics were present.
