If you're looking for something really special, this red wine by Tokara is just what you need. Hailing from the impressive 2017 vintage which critics claim to be one of the finest in the last three decades, Tokara Telos 2017 has its origin in a 19-year-old single vineyard block and is limited to a 1 000 bottle blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon finished with 8% Petit Verdot, aged for 22 months in 65% new French oak barriques.
The aromas of cassis, smoked tobacco and perfectly ripe plums dominate and are complemented by dusty graphite and brambleberry notes. The palate offers restrained richness and tannins that are so fine that they entwine the fresh, mouth-filling acidity and the almost endless finish. It is a dramatic wine that is best savoured with fine company.
