Wednesday, July 29, 2015 - At Aux XIII Arches, Portbail, Normandy.
No vintage on wine list but took a punt and was a bit wary when saw it was both a 2008 and 100% Sauvignon. Nonetheless was impressed with the excellent balance of ripe gooseberry fruit, viscosity, gentle integrated toasted oak and capsicum grip. Still has a year or two ahead of it with this structure. Very moorish, the four of us comfortably wrote off two bottles in quick time with our predominantly seafood choices.
Good value off wine list.
