Antipasto plate was very tasty indeed. Sauvignon Blanc was grapefruity and was OK. Salad was tedious. Beef was surprisingly yummy and was actually red inside - the way I like it. Until now I've been under a misapprehension that airlines must cook everything out of their meat. Whether this was by design or not I don't know! Concannon was OK. Cheese was good and served at the same time as dessert which is a new thing. Not sure if I prefer it this way or not, but I certainly wasn't fussed about it. Port was OK but the Cabert was extraordinarily delicious. Had to take a couple of extra glasses it was so good. Dessert lacked much excitement, but was good all the same. Finished off with a Baileys & Amaretto but unsurprisingly I fell asleep before I'd had more than a couple of sips. FA gave me a bottle of the Cabert to take home with me. All in all surprisngly good.
