Delicious the 2nd time around. Served with Porterhouse and was extremely well balanced. Bold black cherry, acidity and tannic really paired well.

Clone 4 speaks to@my palette. This was Christmas in a bottle. Prime Rib candidate. Lovely black fruit and long finish.

Dark, opaque brick, medium viscosity, light staining on the eye. Vanilla, cherries, wet hay on the nose. Dark chocolate, cocoa, ripe, candied cherries, on the palette. Well-balanced acid and smooth tannins, sweetness and spiciness, long finish. An absolute treat.

2008 Bell Clone 4 Cab. Delicious. Very much in the Bourdeaux style. Ready to drink with mellow tannins.
