Tonight's dessert was apple slices tossed in a pan with some light spices (no, not a ladle of cinnamon, that most abused of spices, specially in the US...).
Wine was Sauternes 1996 Cru Barréjats. To me this wine can stand up with Yquem any time. Very low in SO2, from a very small producer (and friend) Mireille Daret. Not her best year IMHO, maybe it was her first, but this is so long lasting, the acidity is so sharp. The flavours constantly change during its well over 15 seconds on your palate, from citrus to honey to quince to beeswax to er... yes cinnamon, and finally something resembling the odour that you experience when you walk under a fig tree. Next bottle will be a 1997.
