Big fan of Groth cabs- especially their reserves. This one was a solid effort that is drinking well right now. Tannins provide structure without overwhelming. Wine seemed a bit thin in flavor on first pour, but opened up nicely over next 1.5 hours. Did not decant as always prefer to try it 1st then decide.

Popped my last bottle at Ruxbin in Chicago. Cork broke in half again, but restaurant decanted so all is well.

Tasting notes similar to last time, only I would add this wine is perfect right now. Silky smooth tanins and bursting with berry and stone fruit flavors. Yum !

An absolutely HUGE cab. Everything you'd hope for in a Napa cab. Great structure and tannins already well balanced. This one is good to go now, or could last another 10 years in the cellar. Among the best I've had in 2012, wow!
