  Golden color. Wow: fresh and sweet, not cloying at all. Amazing length and minerality. Pairs perfectly with apple pie.
  
  Robe dorée. Wow: à la fois doux et rafraîchissant, pas du tout écoeurant. Longueur incroyable, et belle minéralité. Accord parfait avec la tarte aux pommes.

  Dinner at home with friends (At home in Kraainem, Belgium): Beautiful brilliant gold color. Floral and fresh nose. Fantastic in the mouth: peaches and pineapple, absolutely not cloying, I would almost say refreshing - which is quite a feat for a dessert wine! Great length. Still a baby, will keep improving for at least 10 years.
  
  Superbe robe or brillante. Nez floral et frais. Fantastique en bouche: pêches et ananas, pas du tout écoeurant, je dirais même rafraîchissant - un tour de force pour un vin de dessert! Belle longueur. Encore un bébé, s'améliorera encore au moins 10 ans.

  Dinner with friends (2xChampagne, Vouvray, Bandol, Bourgueil, Alsace) (Jonathan and Samantha's): (With the cheeses and the dessert)
  Beautiful bright gold with sparkling yellow highlights. Incredibly rich and viscous like an SGN or a BA. This is just lovely on the nose with swirling and soaring floral notes of honeysuckle nectar and sweet freshly mowed hay taking the lead. Beneath that, there is rich peach fruit and a honeyed elegance. One can almost taste the concentration just by sniffing. Equally concentrated on the palate with a very sweet entry of honey and ginger-candied fruit. As it moves to the mid-palate, the acid picks up and – while still very sweet and concentrated – the wine just seems to zip right along the tongue very brightly, leaving a trail of sweet stone fruit and cool mineral in its path. Floral honey, more mineral, and hints of citrus are the highlights of an almost perpetual finish. This is stunning stuff and more than makes up for the Beaufort and Bourgueil disappointments. If infanticide is this good, I can only imagine what the wine will be like in time.
