Blackberry jam, boysenberry, black currant, cassis, black olives, black tea, vanilla... just so dark and brooding. Very rich, ripe, and lengthy. 10 years old and still going strong! Really solid bottle. — 8 years ago

The 2010 has always been monumental, as it is again tonight. Too young but dazzling. Best value on the list at Press by a mile — 8 years ago

This wine is worthy of all the press and hype in my view. Awesome vanilla/raspberry/chocolate/spice palate. Very balanced for such a young age. Love the finish- big without overstaying it's welcome. — 8 years ago

1993 Screaming Eagle Cab. Drank at Press w K, Iana, S, and AG. Such a treat and very interesting as Kplanned it as a comp with the 1991 Harlan. For the first hour or so, we all favored the SE. Super unctuous and round, like velvet in the mouth. Then the wines came to temp and the picture completely changed and we all grew to favor the Harlan. Interestingly, the SE got flabby and very, very sweet. A thought it was bc it lacked the tannins that the Harlan showed. Anyway, SE turned almoSt port-like, with a nose of dates, raisins, and prunes. Amazing and fun to see the change throughout the night. — 10 years ago
