April 16, 2019 - Got the Emirates attendant to save my palate and grab me a glass of 09 Dom out of 1st Class.
The Emirates experience is very good overall. The car service pick up is excellent. The comfort in Business Class is quite spacious and comfortable. Service is good. The food was hit or miss depending on what you ordered. Overall, it could be better. Where they really missed; there were no hot towels before meals, wi-fi horrific and the Business Class wine list needs to be much better.
Green apple, slightly bruised Bosc pear, lime candy, light color citrus blend, pineapple, ginger soda, baguette crust, beautiful firm pronounced chalkiness, penetrating grey volcanic minerals, well done acidity and an elegant, rich, well balanced finish that goes on & on.2 people found this helpful 6,287 views

FWIW, your description of "slightly bruised Bosc pear" is more descriptive than most of us ever get with these TN's and better than we probably deserve. As a modest wine drinker and a different voice in the room, I need no further explanation. Cheers!
