The 2015 Screaming Eagle is another monumental wine from this address and it's one of those cases where if you afford it you should buy it. A blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon 13% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc this magical elixir boasts a deep purple color as well as a blockbuster bouquet of blueberries creme de cassis violets incense and cedarwood. Reminding me of the 2015 Château Margaux with its off the charts class and purity it?s full-bodied thrillingly textured and has a finish that just won't quit. This legendary wine is going to keep for 30-40 years.

This is a phenomenal wine on the nose with amazing aromas of mint and sage highlighting the blackberry and slate character. Blackcurrants and wet earth. Medium to full body with incredible precision and beauty. It rolls off the palate with super fine tannins. Savory and juicy. The minerality and pureness draw you into it. A precise and sophisticated Screaming Eagle that brings you in. So drinkable now but better in 2022.

Composed of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon 20% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc the very deep purple-black colored 2015 Screaming Eagle leaps from the glass with notes of freshly crushed black currants black cherries and blackberries with suggestions of cigar box black raspberries red currants chocolates pencil lead and cast-iron pan plus a touch of potpourri. Medium to full-bodied with a rock-solid backbone of ripe grainy tannins and oodles of freshness it features the most incredible black and red fruit layers and finishes with incredible vibrancy and depth.

Continuing along a similar theme the 2013 Screaming Eagle is incredibly concentrated and powerful. Today the 2013 tastes like a concoction of liquefied rocks crème de cassis blackberry jam and lavender. Deep dense and beautifully layered in the glass the 2013 captivates all the senses with its majestic complexity. With time in the glass the 2013 gets better and better to the point I would have liked to follow it over several hours and perhaps days which was not practical. Screaming Eagle fans will not want to miss the 2013s although these wines will not be ready to deliver maximum pleasure for a number of years.
