2022 Bekkers McLaren Vale Grenache

95 POINTS

Kasia Sobiesiak - The Wine Front

This wine has a bold concentrated flavour yet delivered with utter elegance and effortlessness. Black and blue fruit, damson plum and purple fig, a lift of red apple skin, freshly polished leather, iodine, graphite almost. It’s bloody, it’s meaty, it’s a haunting flavour of perfectly ripe and refined fruit with a mouthwatering, deeply savoury-salty infusion. Simply beautiful.

Very good full-bodied grenache with notes of tea-smoked duck, beef bouillon, dried thyme, lilacs and a rusty nail. The finish is almost drying. I'll be closely tuned to the development of this wine in the cellar.
