Just received the 2021s and thought I’d open a bottle. Decanted 15 minutes. Big red fruit - cherry, plum. Lighter bodied for a cab. Fruit is overpowering and just on the edge of too ripe. Tannins are soft with a slightly grippy feel. Good value. Someone rated this 97 which seems a bit high to me. — a month ago
Black cherry, raspberry, cassis, eucalyptus, vanilla, plum and oak. Full-bodied and soft tannins. — a month ago
2014, Screaming Eagle 2nd Label is a treat for sure. Color is a semi murky garnet purple. Nose - dark fruits, meaty, herbaceous menthol with floral notes, truffle, and a subtle vanilla kick at the end. Taste - black cherry and plum dominate. Concentrated and well structured, smooth and mouth coating giving it its elegant appeal. Secondary notes of mocha java, black pepper and a cedar graphite adding to its medium plus finish. — 17 days ago

Pretty solid CS. Deep black currant aromas & flavors. Fruit but not jam. Still holding up. Drink or hold — a month ago
A much better bottle than the one I had in 2021. Vibrant blackberry and black cherry flavors. The tannins have integrated well with mild acidity. Very enjoyable. — a month ago

PnP. Lovely purple color. Nose and wine were restrained and toned down. Classic Napa sweetness with touches of oak. Needs a decant. Got more expressive with air and a larger wine glass. — 4 days ago
