Ended up being served three very good wines.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc 2012. This is the second time I&#8217;ve had this wine, and I don&#8217;t think there are many better Marlborough Sauvignons out there. It&#8217;s precise, aromatic and taut with a lovely grapefruit character as well as subtle green grassy notes. I really like the 2012\u00a0vintage in\u00a0Marlborough, which was a very cool year saved from disaster by a long, warm autumn.<\/p>\n<p>The second wine was served blind, and I guessed it as a very good Chardonnay &#8211; I thought it was from New Zealand, but it turned out to be a white Burgundy &#8211; JM Boillot Montagny 1er Cru 2010. This is a serious effort and it&#8217;s not terribly expensive (\u00a3125 per case, Bordeaux Index), with real richness of fruit, which is what led me to guess wrongly.<\/p>\n<p>Third, we finished off the remains of a bottle of Chateau Talbot 2000. It&#8217;s still quite young, with lovely dark gravelly fruit. Rich but not sweet, with a\u00a0savoury bite and good structure. Proper Claret.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Popped into my sister&#8217;s for a quick lunch today, picking up our boys who had been staying over while we were at a wedding.
