The 2002 Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon is creamy, opulent and engaging right out of the gate. Plush, silky tannins wrap around a core of red-toned fruit, hard candy, sweet spice and flowers. The 2002 is unquestionably an extrovert.
Powerful, full-bodied, concentrated, rich, and intense, the nose kicked off with roasted Espresso beans, blackberry, smoke, and licorice with hints of dark red and blue fruits. Huge, yet poised, balanced, long, clean, and fresh, there was a touch of heat in the finish, yet the heat seemed lost in the wealth of all that ripe fruit.
