1986 Château Haut-BrionPessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend more |
7/31/2008 - JHWinick wrote: 97 pointsThis is quintessential Haut Brion. Smoky, earthy perfection in a glass. By far the best bottle of 1986 Bordeaux I've yet had. This wine is squarely in the drinking window. It has plenty of life left, but can't imagine it being much better than it was on this night. |

2006 Screaming Eagle Second FlightNapa Valley Red Bordeaux Blend more |
12/6/2012 - JHWinick wrote: 94 pointsSame impeccable balance as the regular Screaming Eagle, just with the "volume" turned down. The wine came across as distinctly cabernet sauvignon based, so I'd guess there is a significant component of cabernet sauvignon in the blend. But there are no hard edges to this wine, so there's clearly a healthy amount of merlot as well. Absolutely delicious though perhaps not a long ager. |

2008 Screaming Eagle Second FlightNapa Valley Red Bordeaux Blend more |
12/31/2012 - JHWinick Likes this wine: 91 pointsAn strong spiciness (black pepper) on the nose and palate that would had led me to guess syrah had I not known better. Dense, silky mouthfeel with flavors of plum and other black fruits. But nothing about this wine seemed consistent with the typical Screaming Eagle profile - it was simply too big. Also fairly tannic, so I would recommend a long decant or a few more years in the cellar. |
