It's definitely made an appearance at the FCL A shop, so I expect it will be aboard shortly!

The Dom P2 2002 is also showing up along with the "regular" Dom 2008 version on my flight from JFK to DXB in November! Very nice!

Also on my STN - DXB and DXB - LHR flights next month (but not my DXB - SIN and return flights).

Anyone tried the DP 2002 onboard yet?

Looks like it's P2 and (former Araujo) 2013 Eisele Vineyard Cabernet as the standouts for West Coast US F in December.

2013 though, that seems like infanticide. Just wrong. Probably open the bottle on the ground and drink 8 hours in...

Yes. P2 at least. On EK225 on Monday. It was great. I should have had more

Oh yes! Definitely there. It’s custom-labelled (on the back) for EK. I am not THAT into champagne, but this is a fine drop. If I wanted to be a little critical I’d say that the 2000 was slightly better (a bit richer and “biscuity”; do you say that in English?), but that would be nitpicking. Great to see it onboard.

On a related note, I am a big fan of the Chapoutier Ermitage that is currently on all the UK routes.

'12 maybe, but all the '13s I've had require a lot of time (3h+), and those are wines considered less age-worthy than this. We'll see though! :)

Wonderful. Excited for my flight next week.

Someone might have mentioned a while back that might actually be a theft deterrent feature more than anything, Like if a few pallets of P2 ended up at a retail store or something...

I see EK First is serving Eisele Vineyards 2013 Cab Sauv on board. Seems like a nice wine. Any reviews from having it at altitude?

P2 served on my next flight to MXP - such a treat!

It also shows on the wine list on the EK app for my January LGW flight. Unfortunately I’ll be in J :( .
This bug of showing the F wine list for J bookings has been there for a while now.
