Earl Vignoble Delaunay Muscadet de Sèvre-et-Maine Nord-Ouest Château Thébaud

Bottle open eight hours, unrefrigerated. Pale gold. Aromas of moderate intensity but elevated complexity: salted nuts, crusty bread, dried herbs, dried flowers, a metallic, saffron whisper. Fascinating. Dry, with elevated crisp acidity, a rush of something sweet/savory on the palate that wasn't there on opening. Bacon and caramelized onions? Saline and long. Now I know what the talk of aged Muscadet is about. To be savored.
