It seems QF has gone through the 1998 vintage, and is now serving the much nicer 1999 vintage! ^ Going out at the end of Nov we had the 1998, coming back last weekend we had the 1999. One of the very nice chappies on my LHR-SIN said that he'd worked another SIN around the end of Nov/start of Dec and the champagne had switched to the 1999 on his return to LHR on the first of Dec.
Personally, although the 1998 was very good, I far prefer the 1999. Somehow the 98 can get a bit sharp and biting after the first few dozen of glasses, whereas the 1999 is far smoother with a CH '95-like critrusy yet Krug-like bready consistency.
