THE 1st VINTAGE OF SCREAMING EAGLE IN MAGNUM
This very rare magnum has impeccable provenance as it was stored in the cellars of Screaming Eagle until release to this consigner, who shortly after consigned it to Christie's. A letter of authenticity from Tony Bowden will accompany this mangnum, adding to its value.
A conversation with Mr. Bowden confirms that 1992 was the first year they made magnums at Screaming Eagle and that they did wax a few of these large formats, but stopped halfway through as the wax was too difficult to handle and standard capsules were easier.
Screaming Eagle--Vintage 1992
Napa Valley
Comes with letter of authenticity from Tony Bowden
The 1992 Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon is exceptionally impressive. The wine's opaque purple color is followed by a sensational nose of jammy blackcurrants and subtle toasty oak. As stunning as the aromatics are, the wine reveals even greater richness and intensity on the palate, offering up layers of stunningly proportioned, ripe, intense fruit, full body, great purity, and an inner-core of sweet, creamy, highly extracted blackcurrant/cassis fruit. The tannin is nearly concealed behind the massive extract and richness. All the component parts are brilliantly focused and in balance. The finish is awesome! This is a spectacular debut release that should age effortlessly for 20 years.
