I found myself having lunch in a well known London bar today, Gordons on Villiers Street.
Their wine list had a Chillean Cabernet Franc which I thought I'd try -- partly because I remembered how Argenitinan Cab Franc can taste so different from French
Terroir Hunter is extremely flavourful and intense -- it tastes like nasty medicine in a good way -- like some amarone liquors and Fisherman's Friend. I wouldn't want it every day, and I wouldn't want more that a glass or two with a meal. I'm in two minds what I think about it actually -- I have a feeling it's the sort of wine with very little sobremesa potential and it's a question of finding the right food to go with it. Something sweet for contrast, maybe. Dried fruit. (Have I just contradicted myself? Oh well.)
Unfortunately, Gordons (a friendly and stylish place but a total rip off IMO -- such a far cry from what it used to be) don't do any sweet dishes.
