Rose petal, geranium — 10 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
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
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
Lovely rose petal, red currant, geranium, wet stone. — 10 years ago
Tomato leaf, geranium, honeysuckle gas station. Salty, slightly oxidative finish. Damn, this is cool! — 11 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
Garnet, mint, strawberry jam, geranium, bacon notes- oak?, — 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
Orange blossom honey, geranium, lychee, ripe white peach, ginger. — 11 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
