Screaming Eagle, Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, 1993
Château Pétrus, Pomerol, Bordeaux 1990 (100 pts by Robert Parker)
Now producing 100% Merlot wines, this 1990 is a 95% Merlot 5% Cabernet Franc blend. At one point before the 1960's they would use as much as 20% Cabernet Franc. This was a great effort ...Pure Pomerol terroir on the nose, fruit closed at first but after an hour opened up nicely. Showing great elegant Merlot fruit, cocoa, caramel, balanced acidity and lasting long in the mouth.
Screaming Eagle, Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, 1993
Screaming Eagle hit the market in 1992 with a Cabernet Sauvignon that Robert Parker scored a 99. After that it was all ''cult'', with unusually high prices on the wines. This wine was showing beautiful fruits, cherry, plum, dark berries, strong with a bit too much alcohol noticeable, the acidity was nice but not perfectly balanced.
