    Bekkers 2016 Syrah (McLaren Vale)

    This isn't small-batch biodynamic producer Toby Bekker's strongest or most interesting wine, although it's still a tasty drop. It's showing bottle age, with raisiny plum and cherry fruit and a medicinal, earthy quality too. There's still plenty of freshness on the palate although tannins are a bit drying and the oak is showing somewhat. Nevertheless, the fruit holds up well, and this could continue to cellar another few years, perhaps until 2026.
