Ah yes the wonderful Nobilo SB. First introduced in 1991 and we had it near on 20 years on shorthaul. Have to say in all my years, THE best quarter bottle we've ever had.

If I had the power it would be back. BA changed their wine buying policy in 2009 when the wonderful Peter Nixson, our wine buyer for many years left BA. We now have two different companies buy it on our behalf. For the record the Nobilo was apparently very expensive and thus went to that big cellar in the sky. ( There were other reasons it went). According to my source, we will be getting a SB again in Sept although not from New Zealand I believe. Lets see if my source is correct. ( This will be for Club Europe only I believe)
