Just because it's out of J it doesn't mean it's less worthy. It was fresher, whereas the Rare came across as a champagne you'd drink with a fish meal. Was quite deep. Another lady in the same cabin thought the same. Much prefer La Grande Dame by some distance.

Preferences are personal. I thought Rare was excellent and appreciated the depth that, to my palate, comes from its high Chardonnay content. That style won’t appeal to everyone, but it very much works for me.

I did a tasting of both the Bordeaux and the Portuguese, and couldn't decide between the two - so they poured a full glass for both. The Bordeaux was classic and drinkable on its own; the Portuguese needed food/cheese but was very interesting and tasty (to me). I didn't want to eat/drink much on my particular flight but both of them tasted very good.

Oh and a mention to the ground experience at SFO, from check in to TSA pre to lounge, all exceptional, yes even TSA! Friendly, warm, helpful and the lounge check in agent had pre-reserved me a 4 seat table in first dining as she had seen I had my three children with me, and this is despite them being in Club.

I am very surprised to hear this, I think the Rare is an excellent wine, what was it about it that you didnt like?

BA269 LHR-LAX Jan 7
Crab
Chicken
Beef
Chocolate tart
Tart Tatin
Trout starter 2nd meal
Carrot and croquette 2nd meal
All was good but a bit un-memorable. The 2nd meal croquette did look like baby food!
Drinks selection is really good. The fizz list is truly world class. The Portuguese white and red are well worth a taste.

BA 127 LHR - DOH Afternoon
The main is identical to LHR - DXB but we got a light meal instead of the breakfast.
Let me just say the Rare Millesime Brut 2015 was absolutely amazing.
I added a bonus picture of the new amenities bag as it’s recently been introduced.
