Tokar Estate Shiraz 2024 lake-wanaka The main offices and cellarsThe colour is deep ruby and bright with a purple tinge. Theres a savoury, almost meaty (Bresaola) note upon first opening but this gives way to the aromas of fresh raspberries, bay leaves, olive brine and pepper. The palate is mouth filling, elegant and bright fruited with flavours of red liquorice and blueberries before finishing with a little char. Great drinking now but could be cellared for another 5+ years.
