  7/15/2023 - Goldstone Likes this wine: 88 Points

  Several bottles drank on the terrace of the Castello Di Bellagio near Sattahip, Thailand as the sun went down.
  
  Light jewelled yellow-gold colour. Intriguing nose of pronounced ripe but not sweet cantaloupe melon, rich unsalted butter, fresh-grated nutmeg. Palate is sharp, reductive acidity on the fore with slightly sour mid-palate of grapefruit and Thai apple-pear. Very little apparent oak. Moderate weight and lacking any length but very more-ish in the setting and this is certainly from a well-regarded producer. Probably we were drinking this too young and too cold (the terrace was around 30C air temperature and humid). 88-ish but enjoyed it more than that might suggest.
