Cool. So much better on the ground too, assuming the bottle wasn't opened on a flight too much time before.

2006 Haut Brion and 2005 Montrose in the A lounge this morning. Both fantastic.

2006 Haut Brion in B gates this morning - great wine although the Angelus was more quaffable.

Was there Angelus available there? Haven't seen it on any on board wine list for a while.

Does anyone know if the US F flights have any Reds from the vintage collection? I don’t seem to see any on the “What’s on your flight” and last time I flew - just saw P2 on board (not complaining though)

Not currently, flew last week on 236/235 and all generally ordinary right now. I didn't even bother drinking them on the return. Always changing though you never know what you will get in a few weeks.

New to the forum, and been flying a lot of EK recently and been enjoying the wines.

Was offered the 2006 Angelus "off menu" in business the other week DXB-MUC. Was absolutely excellent, so they are still out there!

In business???? Are they trying to get rid of the stuff now??

It was a pretty quiet flight and I was chatting with the supervisor about wine quite a bit. Then she offered to let me try something not on the menu since I liked my wines. I was also quite surprised! I had thought about asking in the past, but thought it would be a bit cheeky.

For one moment I suspected she might have offered you something from the F menu. But for next week I don’t see the Angelus on the list there either.

She had definitely said it wasnt on the menu, but I had assumed she meant not on the business menu. I certainly wasn't complaining and they were happy to pour me a couple of glasses!
