Hedonistic Diner

Normally I am pretty dedicated to produce something of a written impression of all these beautiful wines.
But tonight I (we) decided to stow away our pencils and simple enjoy the fabulous food of Chef Loos and the gems we were allowed to bring.
So, no formal notes, just a score as a reminder and for personal reference.
