At seventeen years this is likely at its peak and should continue to drink well for another decade. Thankfully we still hold a couple more bottles of this vintage. The fill level was perfect while the cork appearing perfect was a bit soft upon extraction using a 'ahso' two pronged cork puller.
Dark garnet colored, medium full bodied, smooth, elegant, briary black berry and black raspberry fruits with notes of cassis, dusty cedar and hints of dark chocolate, herbs and creamy oak turning to gripping tannin on a fruit filled finish. https://unwindwine.blogspot.com/2021/05/groth-oakville-napa-cabernet-2004.html

Still drinking well and like an older world wine but in my opinion getting towards the end of the drinking window as the finish was not very long. Did go nicely with a Grilled NY Strip Steak.

Very pleasant drinker. Tanins are mellowed nicely. Could stand a bit more time in bottle. Muscular fruit character. Bit of leather. Nice balance. A wood fired steak would have been a welcome pairing.

Soft tannins - velvety smooth mature wine. Not too late but drink now.
