The cake long gone (well some was left in the fridge) and Eyquem and Gadea asleep. Time for a special dinner. And since Samuel had bought all the (available) bottles of the last tasting course (vino d’autores, with pairing) we had some idea what to do.

So first a foie gras special: mille-feuille of goat cheese and (just panned) fresh foie gras, and a foie-gras mi cuit from navarra on toasts with uva pasas (raisins), to contrast. All that was joined by a sparkling wine from DO Alicante made of moscatel grapes, Marina, very fresh with a fruity nose, but dry to the taste, delicious. The wine brings the cheese down a notch and thus allows the foie to come forward, to great effect!

We then had duck confit with a bit of salad, and a special crianza wine from DO Toro: El Titan del Bandito, made, as all DO Toro, from tinta de toro, a Crianza because it only stayed 12 months in the bottle after 20 months in wood (mix of american and french oak, as far as I could tell) Fully bodied wine if there is wine, but opens up incredibly, this is the autor wine of the maker of Dominio del Bendito.
