First wine list

Hi All,

Have got a flight in F to Muscat next week. From recent trip reports I see that the last 2005 wine list is as below. Has anyone flown F in the past couple of weeks & if so do they know if this is still the list or has it changed?

As ever, many thanks in advace.


WHITE WINES
Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Chenevottes 2002, Joseph Drouhin
The wines of Chassagne have a mineral complexity that combines well with the richness and depth of great Burgundy

Riesling Herrenweg de Turckheim 2002, Domaine Zind-Humbrecht
This superb Alsace Riesling has an extravagant aroma of intense citrus peel and an opulent, throat-tingling flavour.

or

Leeuwin Estate Art Series Riesling 2004, Margaret River
A delicate floral aroma leads into a much fuller flavour of lime, elderflower and soft peach - a delightful expression of the noblest white wine grapes.

Renwood Select Series Viognier 2004
The Viognier grape is hand-picked from selected sites to give a rich style with a dominant flavour of fresh white peach.

RED WINES
Chateau Branaire Ducru 1995, Grand Cru Classe St Julien
Branaire has an open blackberry nose, is well-structured with a ripe soft fruit flavour and a real touch of class.

Chinon, Clos de l'Olive, 2003, Couly-Dutheil
2003 was another lovely vintage in the Loire Valley and the Cabernet Franc grape achieved full maturity. This wine is soft and rounded with beautiful primary fruit aromas and flavours.

Gordon Brothers Syrah 2001, Columbia Valley
Washington State is a very serious wine producer nowadays and the Gordon Brothers sun-drenched vineyards overlooking the Snake River are some of the best, producing deliciously rich but balanced wines.

DESSERT WINES
Opitz Goldackerl Trockenbeerenauslese 2002, Austria
The effervescent Willi Opitz, from his tiny vineyards in Illmitz near the Hungarian border, produces some of the very best in the country.

Warre's 1998 Coleita Port
Complex, sweet, nutty flavours offer an admirable after-dinner glass.
