98 Points | Halliday Top 100 Wines 2022
Toby Bekkers is regarded as one of Australia's finest red wine makers, who has built a huge following by consistently crafting wines that reflect exceptional attention to detail and a deep understanding of the McLaren Vale wine region.
The 2019 Bekkers McLaren Vale Syrah represents their flagship wine which always delivers a wine with the generosity of McLaren Vale Shiraz, tempered by fragrance, spice and soft, silky texture. A wine that always attracts plenty of interest, we're delighted to have just secured a very small allocation of this exceptional McLaren Vale wine.
"98 Points. The colour is deep and still youthful, three-plus years along its journey. The complex bouquet is so multifaceted it's a challenge to describe. Game, Eastern spices, black cherry and licorice move backwards and forwards across the palate and bouquet. Aboriginal dot painting stuff. $120. 14% alc. drink to 2050"- James Halliday, Top 100 Wines 2022.
"97 Points. Medium deep crimson. Intense blackberry, dark plum, mocha, herb garden aromas with aniseed notes. Generous and silky smooth with abundant blackberry, dark plum, mulberry fruits, fine chocolaty textures, some minerally graphite notes and integrated vanilla/ mocha oak complexity. Finishes chocolaty firm with persistent dark brambly fruit notes. Lovely density, vim and vigour. Should develop more complexity and volume with age. 48% Clarendon, 52% Syrah.
