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

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..

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.

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