Etihad & Lufthansa - flights & lounges; 9/8/2019-9/14/2019 (Sydney, Abu Dhabi, Frankfurt, Berlin): {screwcap} The ‘Sommelier’s Selection’ on board, ie. not named on the wine list. The relative restraint of the nose contrasts with the label, something dreamed up over a late-night drinking session, clearly. There are inky blackcurrants, fig, chocolate, and some raising jam all in small portions. The palate is a bit stewed, with plenty of blackberry and strawberry fruit, medium acid, medium weight too. The lack of oak spotlights the fruit, which all makes a bit first impression, but it can’t sustain its presence beyond (or even to) the mid-palate, compromising the finish a bit. Drink up. (Etihad EY8 Business Class: Frankfurt - Abu Dhabi)
