Closing
Rants and Ravings
- Bouchard is very impressive however you can feel the work in the cellar, nonetheless it feels like a minor version of Rose de Jeanne
- Briseau also is very solid and the more I think about it the more I like it. Not so sure about ageing potential
- Ametzoi a classic proposal from Zul is always refreshing and has an amazing evolution in the glass even at room temp
- Terroir's food is so fresh that puts to shame most of French bistro. It's unbelievable London did not have a place like this until recently. Yeah but get that aircon working it was over 27C last night inside. Well over that.
