FEATURES

The 2018 Screaming Eagle 'The Flight' from Napa Valley is a truly exceptional Bordeaux blend, lauded by critics for its depth and elegance. James Suckling awarded it a perfect 100 points, describing it as an "incredible wine with such depth and energy and ethereal, mind-blowing sensibility." The wine presents a medium to deep garnet-purple color, exuding a gorgeous perfume of red roses, kirsch, black raspberries, and fresh blackcurrants, complemented by hints of iron ore, tilled soil, lavender, and star anise. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a fantastically chiseled structure of ripe, grainy tannins and bold freshness, supporting layers of black fruit and floral notes, culminating in a mineral-driven finish. Aromas of raspberries, citrus, violets, and dark earth further enhance its complexity, making it a "monument for merlot-based wines." While drinkable now, it is recommended to allow it six to eight years to fully evolve, with a potential to age for 10-15 years. Food Pairing: This powerful yet elegant red wine demands equally refined food pairings. Consider prime beef cuts, roasted lamb, venison, or other game birds. Rich, savory dishes that allow the wine's complexity to shine, such as a truffle-infused beef Wellington or a slow-braised short rib, would be ideal. For a cheese pairing, opt for aged cheddar or a firm, nutty Gouda. Event Suggestions: The 2018 Screaming Eagle 'The Flight' is a wine for momentous occasions and celebratory events. It's perfect for a significant anniversary, a high-stakes business dinner, or a gathering of serious wine collectors. Its rarity and critical acclaim make it a statement piece. 【James Suckling 100 points】
