This is the first of 6 that I bought on release. Initially not giving much on the nose after a time in the decanter. After an hour aromas of cedar and Geranium - some mint. On the palate denser than usual and more monolithic. A long way from full potential - lacking in complexity. Maybe time will deliver that. Next in 3 years. Finishes with a little astringency. — 7 years ago

Plum, ripe cherry, geranium, raw meat, dry leaves, dusty earth, chicory, baking spice, chalky grippy tannins, m+(1 glass left in bot.) acid, long finish. Needs time. After 3 days una bomba! Interesting to see what it would have been — 8 years ago

Honeyed peaches, apricots, warm brioche bread with honeycomb and petrol. Loads of flowers..camomile and geranium, honeysuckle and iris all shine through. The residual sugar is there and that's undeniable and expected, but the acid comes through and coats everything making a balanced, beautiful finish. 2001 vintage that still shows plenty of youth! — 9 years ago

An hour or so in the glass and there's loads of smoke, black fruit and a green pepper/geranium type floral element edging freshly cut mushroom. Masculine but with a rose petal softness coming through on the nose. The palate is less expressive and seems to lack in intensity when compared to the impressive nose, a lovely freshness to the lightweight red fruit dominated finish which is fresh but again lacks impact. — 9 years ago

From the 2000 vintage. Nuances of geranium on nose with plum/savoury flavours on palate. Holding up well for a lesser year but won't improve. 17. — 10 years ago

Tar, stewed red fruit, raspberries, and a whiff of something plastic/vinyl (geranium). The palate is bright fruit with cherry compote and super smoky. Good length on the palate - drink over the next 5-7 years. — 10 years ago

Very aromatic, like drinking geranium juice. One-dimensional, but it does one thing and it does it well. — 11 years ago

An Aglianico from Campania. Mouldy Savoury raspberries with aromas of barnyard and stable manure. Intensely savoury. My notes do not do justice to this Central Italian Red. In summary I very much liked it. Tasted again 9 weeks later. Notes as above but seems more highly savoury with notes of wet nappy and geranium. Don’t get me wrong but highly recommended. — 7 years ago

Typical herbaceous brambly style from this maker with notes of geranium. Moss Wood in a lesser year but still an excellent Cabernet- one of Australia's best. — 9 years ago

Better than expected from a lesser known Marg River maker in the "Grand Cru" Wilyabrup sub region. Classic "correct" Cabernet nose. Mint, Herbs and Geranium notes. Very good balance. Punches above its price point. Satisfying. 2009 vintage. — 10 years ago

Located themselves on an apple orchard-turned vineyard just west of the Anderson Valley on the Mendocino Ridge, Jason and Molly Drew craft some of the most transcendent Pinot Noirs in the county. Their Morning Dew Ranch is nothing short of utterly magnificent. Elegant and silky, yet structured, it sings of rose geranium, salt and pepper, lavender, rosemary, and smoked cherry pit. The site's name itself is so evocative, and drinking this wine feels like swallowing the fog. — 7 years ago

The Aglianico grape from the Montefredane district in Campania Italy. Overpowering aromas of the Geranium flower together with stalky nettle and vegetal notes. The nose makes this Wine unique. Barely medium bodied on the earthy palate with medium tannins and finish. Great QPR at only $23AUD. — 8 years ago

Cornas AOC requires 100% Syrah, this wine is well made and has all the characteristics of a great Syrah, deep purple color, lovely nose the opens with notes of barnyard, followed by violets, blueberry, red current, cassis, lavender and geranium, medium to full fruity body, well structured and fully integrated tannins, lovely acidity and a long delicious finish. The wine just starts to open up and I would wait a couple of years before drinking, yet will stock now as this one is representing today a great value. My score 89, drink to 2021 perhaps longer — 9 years ago

Mmm this is an interesting vintage! Cool character nose with an intriguing geranium and milk chocolate aroma; some raspberry and rosemary; atypically light and slightly volatile acid finish but this remains a lean wine with enough of a midpalate weight and finish to be serious. Very, very gulpable... — 11 years ago

fresh lemon juice, orange zest, peaches, and flowers (geranium?) on the nose, and zippy lemon with peach in the front and nutty minerality on the finish. $10 at The Wine Mine in Oakland, spring 2013. Wish I had bought more! — 12 years ago
