Groth Cabernet Sauvignon 1997 750mL (Nicked Label)

"The 1997 Groth Cabernet Sauvignon offers a powerful nose, filled with alluring turned earth and black truffle aromas, complemented by precise notes of dried rose petals and violets pressed into the soil. Succulent, fine-grained tannins carry rich brown spices, tobacco, white pepper, and savoury earth, with layers of leather, dried lilacs, and an enticing hint of forest floor—a deep, earthy nuance that adds complexity and intrigue. Michael Weis. Sampled during a vertical tasting of Groth wines (1982–2022) in early 2024 with proprietor Dennis Groth and winemaker Ted Henry."- Decanter, DC93, tasted 4/2024
