  You know you're tasting something different when you have to add the wine to Cellartracker...
  
  Initial notes of sulfur on the nose dissipate and give way to pale stone fruits, then, about 30 minutes after decanting, to granite dust, white pepper, pea vines and fresh cut grass. The palate started out with a slight bitterness that disappeared as the wine fleshed out. The acid was pronounced at first, with a green fruit note that I can't pin down. At the same time the fruit notes, though green, were ripe. With air, this added sweetness and depth and became a bit less green, though still bracing. Drunk with soy/mirin marinated salmon topped with toasted almonds and wilted spinach with a bacon/champagne vinegar dressing, this not only stood up to the mix of flavors, it stood out. I saved a 375 for later...
