Although noticeably more complex, with prune, date, dark fruit and tart raisins, I do miss the boldness of the young wines. Perhaps this wasn't the best representation, but this wine tastes like it's in a weird phase.

I love Groth cabs. This 2008 Reserve is spot on peaking now and BIG and full-bodied. Wonderful.

Ate with porterhouse steak with bone in. Great texture, structure and smooth tannins. Would definitely drink again with food and friends.
