With a salad of grilled shrimp, rosemary, white beans, the 2004 Domaine Branger " Terroir Les Gras Moutons" Muscadet Sevre et Maine. All tight, tense, and minerally at first. A bit austere. Some citrus peel and green apple fruit emerges with a bit of time. Ripping acidity, but at the same time this has a broad, creamy texture. I wasn't totally sold on first few sips, but by end of evening I'm a big fan. Looking forward to a glass tonight to see how it shows. B+/A-
Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency
