The 2014 Screaming Eagle is a blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc. The telltale sign of this iconic wine is its extraordinary purity of crème de cassis fruit, which is abundantly expressed in 2014.
Extremely perfumed with blackberries, currants and flowers. Rose petals too. Tempting. Medium to full body. It grows on the palate with an extremely long finish that lasts for minutes. The tannin is ultra-fine and polished. Purity and essence of this. Feminine yet wild and unpredictable. This sexy, candid, opaque ruby/purple colored wine is seamlessly constructed, full bodied and has a long finish with silky tannin. Promising with a long life ahead. Drink it for the next 25+ years. Best from 2020 to 2034.
