Currently on AMM-DXB enjoying a bottle (or two) of P2 2003.

According to the FA the other pax haven’t caught on the fact that it’s on board. So all mine for now.

Flying to SFO later but with *only* regular 2012 it seems. I suppose I’ll have to settle for the Chateau d’Yquem.

was just going to post that my AMM flights in a couple weeks are showing P2, can't wait

looks like the word is out https://onemileatatime.com/news/emir......-champagne/

It’s depressing that P2 gets more attention than Haut Brion, Opus and Screaming Eagle or Batard Montrachet Leflaive

I mean not if you want the entire bottle to yourself… :D

I swear OMAAT scrapes FT for news sometimes.

Of course it does. As do many other blogs :)

Doing a tour of the DXB F lounges now - where are these leftover vintage wines casually lying around? :D The best I see are "only" the usual tier of wines - I saw a 2006 Lagrange (St Julien) and a 2012 Trimoulet.

Found a La Mission Haut-Brion (second wine of Haut-Brion) at one of the F lounges. Once the bartender saw that I was into wine, he arranged a quick, impromptu Bordeaux tasting.

Which concourse this was at is a trivial exercise left to the reader 😁 that said, at least one of these wines were available across all the lounges.

Were you in Cigar Lounge at A?

I was in A, but at the dining area. Close but no cigar 🙂

my wine list in and out of amm for next week no longer shows P2 :(

It’s not the second wine of Haut-Brion, but it is currently in the fine dining section above A11.

This wine is as good as Haut-Brion and its price reflects this

If they have a case of 2008 Haut Brion, no one will pay any attention to P2 any more.

Confirming that Haut Brion (albeit 2007) has been a regular presence in the lounges over the past couple of weeks. B lounge had multiple bottles (together with some rather boring 2011 Petit Cheval). As always, given certain bottles are coming off the planes it is not unusual to find some that have been open for a little far too long.

P2 has now made its way on to the LHR flights (being served this week, while it was not there last week), as well as the Asia routes and shorter Middle Eastern ones. If we want to be really picky, I find it a bit underwhelming compared to the previous releases. But I remain very grateful that EK continue to treat us with some of these exceptional bottles; still the best cellar in the sky in terms of selection and variety.
