Did as suggested: decanted it for 3hrs. Fantastic. Indeed it was a "thinking persons white." Can age for decades.

A nice ripe Bosch pear and pear skin shows on the second day the bottle has been open. Honeysuckle, lemon, white pepper, wet gravel.
On the first sip it is apparent you need food with this wine. Acid through the roof, sharp lemon, lemon zest, pear mid pallatte with a lightly bitter finish of lemon rind and a chalky, slatey, clay-like minerality. This wine is not bashful and is not concerned if you aren't ready for it. It was made with intention and you should pair accordingly. I made some rich cheesy gougeres that were a bit overpowered by this wine.
