We may not have had the glamour of some other tables but we had the same excellent repast as them, so there!
I'm relieved that Greg has hopped so gracefully across the river to keep the flame so convincingly alive
Canape and Raviolo both vg.
I wasn't as keen on the cauliflower as some - think it needed truffles with more scent.
Beef v well executed, especially the galette and cep. I never order beef due to its environmental dodginess but my fault for not saying this in advance.
Figs worth the detour too although I wasn't sure about the rubble.
Team Trompette as a whole seemed to be generally zinging!
Duval Leroy Pur Chardonnay - a bit too pure for my taste.
Mestres GR Brut Mas Via 2004 - odd but in a quite pleasing way - reminds me of those milk bottle sweets from 40 years ago.
Brovia Villero 2006 (mine), balanced, low key, probably best of the reds.
Marcarini Serra 2011 initially clunky but gradually tar and interest emerged.
Trediberri barolo 2010 normale - I know people follow them but I haven't been blown away to date. This was, however, a decent showing and speaks of the quality of 2010.
Manzone Bricat 2007 - a bit stolid even though I like his wines.
Scavino Ambrogio 2005 - I haven't had this cuvee before, feels a bit 90s.
La Morandina Moscato d’Asti ‘Canelli’ 2020 - thank you Alistair, what a refreshing way to finish!
