Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 1500ml

Offered in magnum, the 2016 Screaming Eagle is a perfect candidate for long cellaring, as the larger bottle slows its evolution and rewards patience. Napa enjoyed a near-ideal 2016 season, and this tiny Oakville estate earned a trio of perfect scores: 100 points from Wine Advocate, James Suckling and Vinous, with Decanter and Jeb Dunnuck close behind at 98. Mostly Cabernet Sauvignon, it opens with perfumed blackcurrant, blackberry, rose and lavender aromas over sage, tilled earth and dark chocolate. Suckling praised "the most transparent and polished texture." Expect this magnum to drink beautifully now and well into the 2040s and beyond.
