Draws you in from the get go, such attractive fresh, perfumed nose of blue fruits, plum, tarragon, pastry, white pepper, aniseed & Vietnamese mint. If the length wasn't so dismal this would be one of the best value wines going around. — 10 years ago
Lovely fresh palate that also has chocolatey notes — 12 years ago
Slightly reminiscent of watermelon on nat geo islander II in Galapagos — 2 years ago
See several previous notes. My last of these Cuvées from Kangaroo Island South Australia and owned by the French Lurton family of Cheval Blanc fame. Savoury plum with earthy overtones. With air the aromas were almost intoxicating. Quite bold and full bodied on the palate - oak has integrated. Rich and spicy yet cleansing and moreish. Touch of camphor finishing with fine sandy tannins. — 4 years ago

Islander Brewery Sake Junmai Daiginjo 2023 — 4 years ago
See previous notes. My last bottle - purchased at the winery on Kangaroo Island. 100% Cabernet Franc. Herbs , Tea leaves, Charcoal, Black, fruits, a touch of caramel oak. Quite a full bodied opulent wine showing those black fruits. A product of the warm 2008 vintage in South Australia. A classy wine balancing the ripe fruit with the right amount of oak treatment. Very polished as you would expect from a $150 wine. Shows Jaques Lurton’s (Cheval Blanc) experience with the Cabernet Franc grape. — 4 years ago
Very good. Got it at the islander. — 9 years ago
