98 JCL. "Love this vintage of Screaming Eagle which is delicate and fine with great finesse. Quite different from the 2007 which is more generous and opulent, the 2008 offers restraint and greater purity and precision in expressing its flavors. This is a layered, detailed Screaming Eagle that is one of the best wines from this decade. The freshness and ripe, firm tannins suggest the wine has a long life ahead - it will age well for a few decades." Jeannie Cho Lee MW, WineNote.JeannieChoLee.com, Mar 2015 |
