Mixed success at our local Bistro, Frog and Scot in Deal tonight. A wine I see praised reasonably often but first time for me, at a not unreasonable £40, Goisot 2018 Aligoté. Weird, almost sweet and verging on mousey nose, quite rich apricot kernel notes with real flabbiness and hardly any acidity. Poor as a wine, terrible as an aligoté. A couple of Foillard 2018 Morgon were decent if unexciting, initially too warm but even after 15 minutes in an ice bucket nothing crunchy or spikey and again not enough acidity for proper refreshment with an acceptable grouse. Luckily a couple of halves of 2020 Tio Pepe En Rama were perfection in the garden with Mrs A’s recently acquired Gougères making skills.
