Tasting notes
Screaming Eagle, coming from California's Napa Valley, is nothing short of exceptional. The 1992 vintage is particularly noteworthy, having fetched $500,000 for a 6L bottle at a 2002 auction. You can just imagine the kind of flavors those sun-soaked California grapes produce.
This wine is featured in Volume 22 of 'Drops of God,' where Ichise talks about its special nature. His words capture the essence and the overwhelming significance of this wine, illustrating it's more than just a drink.
Pour it into your glass, and you're struck by its deep garnet color with a hint of orange at the rim. The aroma offers layers of complexity, with notes of black tea and dried herbs, hinting at its age. On the palate, the velvety tannins spread out, accompanied by ripe black cherry and cassis flavors. The acidity is smooth, tying the whole experience together beautifully, and the finish is long, leaving a complex array of flavors.
To truly enjoy this bottle, serve it in a substantial glass and savor it slowly. A temperature between 14°C and 18°C would be ideal. This is a masterpiece for a special occasion—you should absolutely try it.
