Critics Ratings

'2012 follows familiar classic styling. Now a 4-way Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc (72/15/10/3), no Malbec as in 2011 (92 pts). Structured, seamless and already elegantly poised albeit still very youthful - will age with distinction.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2016, 4.5*

'For my money, this is the best Director's Reserve yet from Tokara, and that's saying something. Blending Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Petit Verdot and a soupçon of Cabernet Franc it's dense and deeply coloured, with scented oak, velvety tannins and a plush core of cassis, graphite and green herbs. A majestic wine. Drink: 2018-28.' - Tim Atkin SA Special Report 2016, 96/100
