It's probably the oldest cab I have had at 23 years old. It has an aroma of pepper, earth, oak, licorice, cinnamon/baking spice. Tannins are smooth and fine and remind you of the Rutherford dust before you feel its full body and good length. The fruit is tamed, and tertiary flavors have emerged making this into a fine sunset. I would not kept it much longer if I had more.

drank with a 2000 clone 4...both showed really well, and I think this time, while the clone 4 was my favorite in the beginning of the night, clone 6 turned out to be best in show (just by a hair). Both were great wines.
