LTB: 2012 Screaming Eagle

AlexO · January 29, 2015, 10:51pm

If anyone has an allocation and they do not what all of it this year, I would like to participate and purchase up to 3 bottles, preferably a 3 pak at release price. Please PM.

Release price. Nice.

I have not received the mailer yet. Best I can tell from last year is that it comes out next week. I’d be curious if anyone else has the mailer at this point?

Thanks, Tom

did it get some huge score or something?

Mailer typically comes early February with March shipment.

B_Buzzini · January 30, 2015, 4:07pm

Good luck! These will go for $2500+ per bottle….

Just curious what is the releasing price for SE these days…

Bill_Tex_Landreth · January 30, 2015, 4:37pm

I think you will see $800 or $900 a bottle for the '12.

david_li · January 30, 2015, 4:45pm

wow…
Just wondering how many people on the list are paying 900 for a bottle with the intention to drink it. With the wine going 2k in the second market, everyone will max their allocation. But 900 get you 3 bottles of most top cali cabs…

ybarselah · January 30, 2015, 4:46pm

statistically, it’s actually around 73%, so a great majority.

david_li · January 30, 2015, 4:52pm

Surprise not everyone max out their allocation

I will buy a bottle at the release price…one of my friends wants to try it…

AlexO · January 30, 2015, 5:25pm

Just trying to be helpful to someone that may not have the 3k to drop on their allocation!

Loren_Sonkin · January 30, 2015, 9:53pm

I noticed Parker lists the release price of this at $1,500. I am hoping that’s a mistake but I am expecting that for a 100 pointer. Ouch.

ericskitei · January 30, 2015, 10:24pm

I sure hope not (but i’ll obviously still buy). Hard to imagine that they will increase pricing from <$1000 to $1500 though. Thats a huge increase.

Mark_Y · January 30, 2015, 10:27pm

Good luck sir, but my comment would be they won’t have to drop 3K… they can line up buyer at $2k/btl, take in 6K, THEN buy the allocation at 3K and still have profit.

FInding these at release price will be hard unless it’s a family/friend of course.

Peter_Hirsch · January 30, 2015, 10:41pm

I have a friend who takes his allocation every year and drinks the bottles on the 5 and 10 year anniversaries of the purchase and then saves one for a vertical.

B_Buzzini · January 30, 2015, 10:55pm

I saw that! I sure hope not….but couldn’t blame them. Hopefully this statement still rings true:

Winesearcher article Feb 2014

"Even Screaming Eagle does not currently release its wine for $1000 a bottle. Its mailing list customers were offered the 2011 wine for $850 a bottle, and direct-to-consumer manager Patrick Chapman adds: “We’re not going to be going over $1000 anytime soon.”
