Screaming Eagle
Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon
A model of balance and restraint. Tough to rate amongst the other Napa monsters we drank tonight. Needs more bottle age.

Apr 28th, 2018Well-structured and balanced--hella tight with punch-you-in-the-face oak. If I tasted this blind I'd probably pass it over. I'd rather take $2000 budget elsewhere...

Complex aromatics and palate with notes of blackberry liqueur, fennel, pencil violets and sweet toasted oak. A perfect bottle!

Jan 20th, 2016Meer dan €3450 (Vivino). En USD 4195 (Delectable). Hoe fantastisch bij Charles & Helena dat ze hun beste wijn met ons delen. Werd steeds beter naarmate hij langer open stond, een goed ‘cabsav’
