I attended the tasting with Mack for SE last May. Tasting a flight of SE was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
We did not try the 1996, but it was a good year in Napa for Cabs. 1996 was not as good as 1994, in my opinion, the overrated 1997 vintages.
1996 may have been a low crop year, which could have increased the price on this already expensive, and almost unattainable cult wine.
If you want to get an idea of SE, try the Hewitt 2005 Cab. It’s about $85/bottle and from Rutherford, just south of Oakville where SE is grown in Napa

hi.
my name is olga,i m an italan girl that loves wine
I live in Birmingham UK and i work as a waitress in a casino where i had the pleasure to serve a Screaming Ego 1999 even if our custmer wanted the 1996
The company had to spend £3500 and i’m really sorry that I haven’ t be so lucky to taste not a drop of it
Can you give me some information about this wine from 1996 that I’m sure it cost a fortune.
Many thanks

You’ve heard people call it “Screaming Ego,” I’m sure.
I can see no reason why anyone would spend $1800 on a bottle of wine. Period. Wine is about enjoyment, not speculation or status.
That having been said, you are a lucky dog to have got to taste this rare wine — I assume on someone else’s dime. If possible, I am both indignant and jealous.
