2018 | Groth Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon | Oakville 1.5L Domaine Pierre Gelin Amber-shot yellow with light copperyThis has the vivid, driven cassis, boysenberry and blackberry fruit of the vintage, but it's well harnessed, with streaks of racy anise, alder and sweet bay leaf providing focus and precision. There's a long echo of iron and savory through the finish as the fruit lingers, leaving a mouthwatering feel. Understated in style compared with its colleagues, but no less complex. Best from 2022 through 2038. 96 Pts Wine Spectator
