Screaming Eagle

Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 1994

1994 Screaming Eagle. Dinner w J&L B and D&M H while staying with D&M in Santa Ynez. Opened and waited about an hour. Decanted right before serving. Tons of jammy dark fruit. Opened more in the glass. JB mentioned full palate and balance. Great finish. Preferred this to ‘91 Dominus once this opened up. — 5 years ago

J. B. Becker

Wallufer Walkenberg Spätlese trocken Riesling 2018

My first JB Becker wine
Day 1 Served 2-3 glasses with the Vinloq Wine System and let it breathe in the glass for ~90 mins
Nose- Lemons and mint with a mineral backdrop
Taste- Minerality complements the lemongrass, mint, and lemon citrus notes. There is a candied aspect to the fruits suggesting tropical fruit. The salty minerality makes this refreshing.

Stored the bottle in the fridge under Vinloq Preservation Gas

Day 16 Finished the bottle and it seemed unchanged. There were the same lemon and citrus notes and that rocky minerality was still present
This seems like it would shine with a decade + cellar time and I plan to bury my remaining bottles at least that long

You’re drinking some stuff that I’m not familiar with. Nice one!

The Becker stuff is great, will be very long lived. I've enjoyed late 80's + early 90's stuff, still drinking young.

@Severn Goodwin I believe you. These seem to flourish with bottle age. Just finished a 98 Spatelse trocken that I will post soon. Fantastic! Would love to try some of the 80’s and early 90’s 🥂

Dominus Estate

1991 Dominus. Dinner with J&L B and D&M H, while staying with D&M in Santa Ynez. Opened and decanted right before serving. Loved it. Drinking beautifully. Still had some fruit in it but well balanced and some good earthy qualities. JB and I preferred this to the ‘94 Screaming Eagle we drank afterwards. — 5 years ago
