The Screaming Eagle 2017 is a wine of unparalleled beauty and complexity. On the palate, it displays a seamless integration of flavors, with layers of blackberries, black cherries, and cassis intertwining with hints of dark chocolate, espresso, and exotic spices. The wine showcases a remarkable depth and concentration, with velvety tannins that provide structure and balance. The nose is a sensory delight, exuding a captivating bouquet of ripe fruits, including blackberries, plums, and blueberries, along with fragrant floral notes and a touch of cedar. The finish is extraordinarily long, leaving a lingering impression of pure elegance and finesse. With its deep, rich color, the Screaming Eagle 2017 is a masterpiece that exemplifies the artistry and precision of this legendary estate.
Antonio Galloni - 96+ Points
"The 2017 Screaming Eagle is a deeply intriguing, fascinating wine, as it represents just a small portion of the harvest in that only pre-fire lots were used here (and in The Flight). As a result, the 2017 is unusually bright and tightly wound, with a decidedly savory, mineral-infused, old school-leaning personality. I won't be surprised if the 2017 turns out to be even better than this note suggests, although I also don't expect I will taste it too often given that the entire production was bottled in magnum."
