Groth Cabernet Sauvignon 1997 750mL France "The 2009 Harlan Estate is"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 floora deep, earthy nuance that adds complexity and intrigue.
