INAUGURAL VINTAGE OF SCREAMING EAGLE IN MAGNUM
Screaming Eagle 1992
Napa Valley
Slightly loose and damaged capsule.
Tasting note: The 1992 Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon is exceptionally impressive. The wine's opaque purple colour is followed by a sensational nose of jammy blackcurrants and subtle toasty oak. As stunning as the aromatics are, the wine reveals even greater richness and intensity on the palate, offering up layers of stunningly proportioned, ripe, intense fruit, full body, great purity, and an inner-core of sweet, creamy, highly extracted blackcurrant/cassis fruit. The tannin is nearly concealed behind the massive extract and richness. All the component parts are brilliantly focused and in balance. The finish is awesome! Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 102, 1995
