Champagne in first
Just been to a DP 05 launch...
Kicked out when sir Tim Clark arrived at the ek board dinner...
Anyway it's great, hope the 04 stocks run out soon it's fabulous!

It will doubtless be welcome news for some folk, but for me the DP has never been a USP of travelling in F.
Personally I've always had an affinity with the line of that Sinatra song
"I get no kick from champagne....."
Am not averse to the occasional glass, but I won't be amongst those guzzling it down - regardless of whether it's 04 or 05 that's on offer.......
More of it for you, fill yer boots !

The 05 gets reviews suggesting it is a wine to drink early - one wine merchant suggests that it is a wine to buy and drink whilst waiting for your 04 to mature 
That being said I have found that the 04 tastes much better on the ground than in the air.

They say that to everyone (about most vintages) to preserve the image that the wine is "exclusive" and therefore able to charge a "scarcity" premium, when the reality is, they have absolutely tons of the stuff - just take the hundreds of cases served daily by EK, which is only one airline customer!

There will be plenty of 05 to go round until I place my order
