Still lively and energetic. Solid signs of maturity with remaining exuberance. Lovely wine but not quite old yet. Would guess 3-4 years to go for full maturity.

With reverse seared ribeye. Decanted for about an hour. Initially thought it might be corked when tasting on open, but after decanting emerged into a wonderful nuanced blend of lilac, vanilla bean, subtle raspberry, barely a hint of tar and black pepper. Remarkable.

We had the 2013 Groth with home made hamburgers and it was perfect. Pop and pour ready to go right out of the bottle. The nose has lots of dark fruit, leather, and a hint of mint. The palate is medium bodied, rich, not over the top and good fruit. The tannins are nicely integrated, in a good spot right now about 10 years after the vintage first appeared. The finish was a bit short. Overall enjoyed this very much.

Spicy aromas of vanilla, blueberry, plum and minty evergreen. Broad, generous, ripe plum and cherry with very fine tannins that provide a sensual grip. Impressive length on the finish.

enjoyed this Cab that seems quite ready to drink now, could also go for several more years. A bit fruit forward but nice structure and acidity, medium tannin, a bit too much oak on the palate for my taste but helped balance the fruit, and some presence of cassis, strawberry, and leather
