Phenomenal. Medium dark purple color. Nose of ink, leather, violet and spice. Complex with many layers. It was incredibly fresh for a 22yr old wine. One of the best wines I have ever tasted.

Wonderful. Medium pale yellow color. Decanted and opened up to reductive notes of lightly smoky matchstick sometimes found in Meursault chardonnays. I had experienced this is Tissot wines, but this was done much better. It was an intriguing wine and absolutely wonderful. Drinking great now.

The finest Napa cab I have tasted. First experience with Screaming Eagle. Plenty of life with wonderful secondary flavors popping through. I often find cult Napa cabs to be jammy and over the top. This was not that. Elegant but also some well integrated oak and other typical dark fruit notes.
