Tokara Director’s Reserve Red 2019 Bottle size: 750ml

‘Tokara use their best blocks to produce this estate blend before making a further barrel selection. Marrying Cabernet Sauvignon with 30% Petit Verdot, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, with ageing in 48% new wood, it's a fine, floral, assertively wooded Bordeaux blend with blackcurrant pastille and blueberry flavours and well-judged tannins. 2023-29’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2021, 94/100

'Inky black fruit with some earthy characters. A focused core of rich, sweet plums. Well-integrated oak spices, violet, and tea leaf notes.' – Decanter World Wine Awards, 91/100 (Silver)

'Displaying an appealing red claret colour with an intense centre and a ruby rim. The nose showcases complex aromas including ripe red and black berry fruit with hints of creamy cassis, cedar wood and toasted oak. The wine enters the palate with incredible purity and focus. Flavours are those of dark cherry, blackberries and ripe plum skin. Sumptuous and full there is a pleasant hint of spice on the mid-palate which leads to fine, firm tannins on the finish.' – Winemaker
