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!

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...

Oh yes! Definitely there. Its 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 Id 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.

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?
