Screaming Eagle - Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 (750ml) Spergola

Screaming Eagle - Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 (750ml) SpergolaCritical Acclaim 98 points Wine Advocate, Review Date: 12 2008 The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon, which I loved last year, has gotten even better, something I saw across the board with the bottled 2005s (a superb year for Bordeaux varietals). This blend of 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc was aged in 67% new French oak for 21 months. It possesses a gorgeous, Pauillac like bouquet of cedar, creme de cassis, licorice, smoke, and earth as well as

the stone shelters so characteristic of La Livinière

This block is cooled by the Great Southern Ocean and Lake Alexandrina where low rainfall and deep alluvial soils encourage Cabernet to ‘populate or perish’

with succulent blackberry

with some hazelnut undertones

and cocoa powder on the nose

Typical of the Cote de Beaune reds

silky textures with a blast of licorice
