Vanilla blackcurrant and some sweet tobacco Full bodied loads of blackcurrant and vanilla. The finish is very long and remains fresh, though with a slight bitter hint. Perhaps I would find this wine over oaked and over extracted under normal circumstances. But I actually quite liked it on this flight. Actually one of the better wines I had while flying. Good selection for this dry environment where aromas usually are not very expressive.

Featured wine in KLM business class. Really well chosen selection. Excellent mouth feel, nicely balanced in terms of tannins and acid along with fruit. Had this also on the way back

Tasted onboard KLM
Eye: dark reddish purple. Nose: dried fruit, herbs, berries, toasted bread. Palate: berries, tannic, medium body and weak finish. Disappointed.
