A great vintage from a great producer, just entering, imho, its peak - if that isn't evidence EK's wine list isn't put together by someone who lives and loves wine, nothing is!

I am going to gamble, and confidently say that you will not be disappointed by it :D

You must try the Dominus 2007 floating about - absolutely exceptional!

Not sure how accurate the EK wine list is but it is showing as this on my flight next week from LHR-DXB as well as DP rose on my second flight. May have to cancel my no drinking on board policy and give them a whirl..

Has anyone been rummaging through the Dubai lounge fridges as of late?

Was wondering what are the latest goodies 😬😬

I'd imagine more or less the same as I'm seeing the same wines in an upcoming J flight for me. I'll be back in the lounges on Friday and have a look

Centurian proved a little difficult with the Dom P, I had to use a spoon to stir out some of the bubbles. The red proved a little easier if not a bit sickly.

Nice! When was this?

havent noticed they served dominus from EU to Asia. Must be a NA route drink?

2006 Dom? Thought it’s 08/9 or Dom 06 Rose now

Yes a strange one. The wine list said 2008 but they served 2006. My second flight served the 2006 rose.
