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." 95 VN "The estate's 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon bursts from the glass with considerable richness and pure depth. The spring frosts lowered yields noticeably resulting in a wine that is a bit darker and heavier than is the norm. The rest of the vintage was on the warmer side, which gave the wine much of its ripeness and body. Mocha, espresso, licorice and sweet spices all wrap around the palate."
