Screaming Eagle - Second Flight 2014 (750ml) Corinto NeroCritical Acclaim 97 points James Suckling, Review Date: 05 2017 Intense blackberry and blueberry aromas with hints of fresh mushrooms. Black truffles, too. Full bodied, tight and chewy with polished and velvety tannins. Long and muscular finish. Energetic. 96 points Wine Advocate, Review Date: 04 2018 Very deep purple black, the 2014 Second Flight (composed of 57% Merlot and 43% Cabernet Sauvignon with no Cabernet Franc) is a little closed at this

The Merlot-dominated 2019 Phoenix (there’s 18% each of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc) offers a great nose of ripe black cherries
