While my list also had the Ducru-Beaucaillou, it wasn't available, but the Mouton was (thankfully).

Even better on the ground. Give it a 45m decant if you can. Yum.

Shameful they serve it in such tiny glasses!

Given we were using them as decanters too, and didn’t want to mix wine from the second bottle which had been open for less time, our table looked like a tasting room with the number of glasses we had on it

Sadly both the Mouton and Opus One are gone from the web menu on tonight’s ORD-DXB.

Does EK still serve P2 on selected flights in F throughout January?

Anything good onboard? I feel like I always just miss out on the good stuff, have another flight in a few weeks on the same route.

Both legs still show Mouton and Dom P2 being available.

I have yet to work out the exact logic, but searching for wine lists more than a week or two out appears to just show the same wine list as the near future, I wouldn't read anything into it at this point and check again in a month or two.

P2 still served to the U.S. and it’s so much better than the 2015…

No 2003 Mouton, sadly (consistent with it no longer being on the list (online and on board)).

Emirates wine collection is really unrivaled among first class, the vintage collection and free flowing P2 are really special!

On another note I had the displeasure of flying American Flagship first and when I asked what for a wine list was told they have a red and a white

Flying in a couple weeks HKG-DXB-NCE with a 2h40m transit in DXB. Which lounge has the best premium wine selection?

Also, are cigars at the lounge still a thing or should I bring my own?

Regardless of your arrival or departure concourse, I would just head to the A FCL which is so much better than B or C. The A FCL typically has a much better selection of wines. There are two Cigar Lounges in the A FCL, although I have no experience, have to think that cigars are available.
