His collecting journey began in 1999, growing from a $10 bottle curiosity into a deep, lifelong appreciation for wine. Despite decades of experience, he continues to learn from each new bottle he buys and each new wine he tastes. This humility is matched by his discipline in sourcing and storage. Every bottle in his collection was purchased through the BCL or via auction, then held in professional, temperature-controlled facilities before moving to his home cellar. He maintains a complete paper trail for the collection, with the original receipts, auction records, and lot numbers available for every bottle.
2018 Screaming Eagle The Flight from this lot has the following scores - James Suckling 100 points. This is the tasting note for 2018 Screaming Eagle The Flight from Robert Parker - with a score of 100. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 The Flight drifts sensuously out of the glass with the most gorgeous perfume of red roses, kirsch, black raspberries and fresh blackcurrants followed by hints of iron ore, tilled soil, lavender and star anise plus a touch of powdered cinnamon. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a fantastically chiseled structure of ripe, grainy tannins and bold freshness supporting the black fruit and floral layers, finishing with bags of minerals.
