Yes! Very pleased it’s still being loaded despite not appearing on the app any more. I am being told it’s always two bottles and only loaded ex-DXB. The crew has no mandate to only use one of the two, so availability on the return sector depends on what was consumed on the outbound (…apologies to anyone flying ex-LHR tomorrow, although in my defence the first bottle was corked).

On a related note, the 2006 Angelus drinks really well but I think the 2013 Domaine Des Perdrix Echezeaux is the star right now on the London route. Both need plenty of time breathing, but the reliably exceptional EK crews (I have no idea how this airline achieves such stellar consistency) have no issues popping the corks right away.

I was also impressed to see the 2015 Bibi Graetz Colore appearing on one of my Asia routes last week. Not an obvious choice, and as such very fun to have. It’s a bit of a delicate animal in a plane and with some of the strong flavours on the menu, but nonetheless excellent.
